Abstract

The effectiveness of instruction in geropsychiatric consultation at a major teaching hospital was assessed using computerized data from five hundred consecutive consultations. Areas of weakness were identified. The most notable deficiencies were related to dynamic formulation and psychiatrist-patient interaction. A special instructional curriculum in geriatric consultation intended to remedy these deficiencies was then designed, implemented, and evaluated. This curriculum took the form of a "crash course" which included didactic and videotape workshop sessions. Instruments were developed for evaluating the performance of teh residents and for assessing the success of the teaching effort. These included a written examination to assess knowledge, a technique for evaluating videotapes to assess skills, and an attitude questionnaire (see Appendix I, II, III).
