Abstract
This book review by Dr. Lomax was invited as a way to highlight a particularly salient resource for our readership. While Academic Psychiatry does not generally publish book reviews, in this case, an exception was made. The content of this work is closely tethered to the mission of the journal and represents concepts central to psychiatric education. The Editors I was appreciative of the opportunity to conduct a focused, reflective reading of this Handbook of Psychiatric Education (1). I was somewhat unprepared, however, to be delighted by the myriad of ideas stimulated by contributions from the luminaries in psychiatric education.

Furthermore, the Handbook can be used as a stimulus for promoting departmental discussions, as an aid for a variety of educational initiatives, and as a promoter of the departments collective sense of an educational mission. The book opens with a discussion of the preclinical undergraduate curricula.
