Abstract

Background: India's landscape of sub/super-specialization courses is expanding rapidly. Numerous courses spanning various domains of psychiatry exist, and this trend is poised to continue its upward trajectory. We aimed to assess the need for sub/super-specialization courses in psychiatry in India and explore the structural components of the courses.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 142 psychiatrists/psychiatry residents from India were surveyed using an online questionnaire after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee.

Results: "Good" and "intense" need for specialization courses was reported to be highest for child and adolescent psychiatry (68.3%), followed by addiction psychiatry (56.4%) and psychotherapy (55.6%). A 1-year post-doctoral fellowship was reported to be the most preferred course format. Practical examination was suggested to be the preferred summative assessment method for different course formats.

Conclusion: The availability of sub/super-specialization courses presents an opportunity to enhance psychiatrists' training in specific areas of interest. Offering a variety of course options enables psychiatrists to select the most suitable program based on their individual requirements and career goals.

一项针对精神病学家的调查，以评估印度对精神病学次级/超级专业课程的需求。

背景：印度的次级/超级专业课程正在迅速扩展。目前已有众多横跨精神病学各个领域的课程，而且这一趋势有望继续保持上升趋势。我们旨在评估印度对精神病学次级/超级专业课程的需求，并探讨这些课程的结构组成：这是一项横断面研究。方法：这是一项横断面研究，在获得机构伦理委员会批准后，使用在线问卷对来自印度的 142 名精神科医生/精神科住院医师进行了调查：儿童和青少年精神病学对专业课程的 "良好 "和 "强烈 "需求最高（68.3%），其次是成瘾精神病学（56.4%）和心理治疗（55.6%）。据报告，为期 1 年的博士后研究金是最受欢迎的课程形式。实践考试被认为是不同课程形式的首选终结性评估方法：结论：开设次级/超级专业课程为加强精神科医生在感兴趣的特定领域的培训提供了机会。提供多种课程选择可让精神科医生根据个人要求和职业目标选择最合适的课程。
