What is it about?

Why is it important?
Psychiatry residency educators have a responsibility to provide psychotherapy training that will be broadly useful, regardless of where residents ultimately choose to work, and our pathway may offer one means of providing such teaching. From our survey, psychiatrists who do and do not specialize in psychotherapy both reported that their pathway experiences benefited their residency education and current practices.
