Core Competencies for Psychiatric Practice

The practice of medicine has changed radically during the past few decades. Patients—better informed than ever—now demand more of their physicians, viewing them as partners rather than revering them as the sole decision-makers.

In this environment, nonnegotiable core competencies—ever-evolving and measured by certification, recertification, and, more recently, maintenance of certification—are more important than ever.

Written with a view to educating and certifying the next generations of psychiatrists, this groundbreaking compendium by distinguished contributors offers—for the first time—a concise look at the final product of the June 2001 Invitational Core Competencies Conference sponsored by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) as regards psychiatry. It presents a brief history of the concept of medical competence, an overview of how competence is defined and incorporated into certification and accreditation by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, a detailed account of how the ABPN defines the six core competency categories for psychiatrists (Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Interpersonal and Communications Skills, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Professionalism, and Systems-Based Practice), and some informed predictions about the future role of core competencies in psychiatric practice.

Concluding with an appendix outlining the six core competencies for psychiatry, this invaluable resource will both help psychiatric residents and their faculty and training directors understand the core competencies important to the ABPN and provide practitioners with a view of what will be contained in their upcoming maintenance of certification programs now being designed.
