Abstract
The authors describe the process of developing a continuing education program for psychiatric nurses, social workers and other health professionals and paraprofessionals in a state psychiatric hospital. This process involved the formation of a Committee on Interdisciplinary Education, establishing educational alliances with key hospital personnel, assessing staff’s educational needs and developing seminars incorporating formative and summative evaluation methods that were responsive to these needs. The methods utilized for overcoming some of the institution-, participant-, and educator-related problems encountered in the course of developing these educational programs are also discussed.
