Residents' Morning Report in Psychiatry Training: Description of a Model and a Survey of Resident Attitudes.

A residents' morning report, adapted from the traditional internal medicine model, was introduced into a psychiatry residency curriculum to supplement bedside teaching for junior residents during inpatient service rotations by focusing on case presentations, clinical reasoning, and evidence-based decision-making skills. This paper describes the design of the report and findings from surveys of residents who participated in the report over a 3-year period. The surveys demonstrate high levels of satisfaction with the exercise and offer insight into factors that may optimize or impede learning in the morning report setting in psychiatry.
