How Psychiatrists Learn To Think.xlsx

Study used a survey of psychiatrists both in and out of training at two different institutions. Survey asking the simple question "What do all providers need to know about psychiatry?" Thematic analysis was conducted, sorting responses into categories based on subject matter and secondarily into meta-categories denoting "Content," "Process," or "Other." The “Content” meta-theme is comprised of topics pertaining to objective information, such as clinical pearls, diagnosis, pharmacology. “Process” describes topics pertaining to treatment delivery, the patient-physician relationship, and therapeutic techniques. “Other” describes responses that were neither focused on the content or process of the practice of psychiatry but are still pertinent to the field. In total, there were 60 attending responses by email, 41 responses from an attending group brainstorming, and 129 resident answers via formal survey.
