Consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatry is becoming a recognized subspecialty in medical settings; it is a branch of psychiatry that addresses the treatment of the medically ill. Training for CL psychiatry is still insufficient in China. We introduce our training model, supervised CL based on the Union Psychosomatic Clinical Approach with Learning Exchange (UPSCALE) model, to improve consultation-liaison skills among psychiatrists. We describe the supervision process via a clinical case. The supervisee expresses learning needs, and the supervisor selects a consultation case and performs interviews via the UPSCALE model. After the interview, the doctors provide feedback to the patients and discuss the case. The experience includes reporting summaries and experience narratives from supervisees, as well as comments and guidance from supervisors. Through the supervised consultation-liaison training model, young psychiatrists have multiple opportunities to improve learning by observing, practising, and exchanging experiences in CL psychiatry.
