Abstract
The U. S. A. as a technologically advanced country has an opportunity to aid developing countries of the world by providing meaningful training in psychiatry for graduates of foreign medical schools. However, present methods have created many problems for the training programs as well as for the foreign physicians and have been of doubtful value in helping the developing nations of the world. This paper reviews the problems, contending that foreign graduates represent two distinct groups: (1) immigrant physicians who intend to stay in the U. S. A., and (2) exchange students from developing countries who intend to return to their native countries. Further, we present our observation of the variety of problems which occur in the selection and training of foreign graduates; and finally, we recommend two separate models for training the foreign physician in psychiatry depending on the needs of the two groups.
