- Description
- Objective: To investigate psychiatry trainees' confidence in their role as teachers, their perceptions of support and preferences for a program to support this role. Methods: Psychiatry trainees in New South Wales (NSW) (Australia) in the first three years of psychiatry training (N = 118) were invited to complete a survey which included demographic data, self-assessment of teaching confidence and perceptions of support for teaching. Results: A total of 63% (N = 74) agreed to participate. Overall, 62% percent of participants regarded teaching as an important part of their role, 46% felt supported in the role by their training supervisors, but only 18% regularly discussed their teaching role in routine supervision. Conclusions: Psychiatry trainees viewed teaching as part of their role. They reported a low level of formal training in teaching skills and perceived a low level of support from supervisors. Registrar training needs to address trainees' competencies in a range of teaching skills along with supervisor support. Further research is required to assess the impact of a teaching program on teaching performance and learner outcomes.
