Implementation of a Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison Service "Conseminar".

Background: The field of consultation-liaison psychiatry has generated a relatively small number of rigorous clinical trials that guide clinical care. Consequently, there is a need for a consensus-building process to inform best practices for common clinical dilemmas in consultation-liaison psychiatry.

Objective: We review several consensus-building approaches in academic medicine and describe a novel educational process called a "conseminar," which is intended to minimize the variability in teaching and practice on a service staffed by multiple faculty members.
