Abstract
Stephen B. Shanfield M.D. 1 , Clark D. Terrell M.D. 1 , and John H. Littlefield Ph.D. 2 1 Department of Psychiatry, The University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas 2 Division of Educational Research and Development, The University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas The authors propose a new way to assess the clinical competence of psychiatric residents. Faculty evaluators would be trained by using narrative descriptions of appropriate and inappropriate practice in various clinical settings. The training has the potential to provide more realistic data about the clinical abilities of residents than current methods. Note: The authors thank Stephanie Block, M.D., James Lomax, M.D., Kenneth L. Matthews, M.D., Stefan Stein, M.D., and Stephen C. Scheiber, M.D., who provided thoughtful comments on earlier drafts. The authors also thank Hilda C. Cheatum for manuscript preparation.Preview Only. This article cannot be rented because we do not currently have permission from the publisher.
