Abstract
As the histories of psychiatry, neurology, and neuroimaging interweave through time, psychiatry has only recently started to recognize the need to embrace neuroimaging like its sibling specialty. While imaging in psychiatric research is well accepted, there is current clinical utility as well. Standards for psychiatry residency and board certification in the USA and abroad have carved out a place for neuroimaging, but the implementation is variable and sparse in the USA. The few publications that describe neuroimaging teaching to psychiatrists have barriers to widespread adoption, and no comprehensive curricular solution has been developed. In this context, we describe some of the barriers and propose solutions to shape the future of neuroimaging education for psychiatrists.
期刊介绍:
Neuropsychopharmacology is a reputable international scientific journal that serves as the official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP). The journal's primary focus is on research that enhances our knowledge of the brain and behavior, with a particular emphasis on the molecular, cellular, physiological, and psychological aspects of substances that affect the central nervous system (CNS). It also aims to identify new molecular targets for the development of future drugs.
The journal prioritizes original research reports, but it also welcomes mini-reviews and perspectives, which are often solicited by the editorial office. These types of articles provide valuable insights and syntheses of current research trends and future directions in the field of neuroscience and pharmacology.
