Trainee experiences of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) training in Europe: 2010-2011 survey of the European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees (EFPT) CAP working group.

The objective of this study was to investigate trainee experiences of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) training across Europe in the following domains: (A) structure and organisation of training; (B) training quality and content; and (C) working conditions and recruitment. CAP trainee representatives were contacted via email across 34 countries in Europe using the European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees (EFPT) email list to complete a survey on CAP training in 2010-2011. The European Union of Medical Specialties CAP group and trainees at the 2011 EFPT forum validated the survey data.
