Abstract

The authors surveyed third-year psychiatric residents in Southern California and found them generally satisfied with their education, in spite of some deficiencies. Program and age related to plans for additional supervision after graduation. Feeling competent correlated negatively with plans to join a psychoanalytic institute. Most residents thought psychiatric training was less stressful than their previous medical training. As might be expected, stress and satisfaction with their education correlated. Satisfaction with student status correlated with plans to continue formal education.
