Spring Academic Event
Who wants to be a Psychiatrist?
Date: Thursday, 20 May 2010
Venue: Central Hall
Westminster
These are interesting times for psychiatry. Inside the
profession, debate goes on about what psychiatrists should be doing
and for whom. This uncertainty isn't doing us any favours:
some 95% of entrants into psychiatric training today are from
overseas. Home-grown young doctors, it seems, are seeking
their inspiration elsewhere. On the other hand, a recent
review found psychiatry to be one of the most satisfying careers in
medicine. Psychiatry appears to be the only branch of
medicine where you have to read the newspapers.
This year the London Division delves into these issues.
What role do portrayals of mental distress play in perceptions of
our career? What skills will psychiatrists need in a world
where Mind is as important as Matter? Who are the new heroes
of psychiatry? How best do we sell psychiatry in the 21st
Century?
We have lined up a series of top-notch speakers to take a look
at the answers to these important questions.
Provisional speakers include: Prof Rob Howard, Dean; Dr Peter
Byrne, Chair Public Education; Prof Ania Korszun; Dr Phillip Timms,
College Educator of the Year 2009.
Places are limited at Central Hall, so to avoid disappointment,
book early for what is promising to be a lively and thought
provoking day.
Programme to be confirmed
