In the first of three papers, the authors present a competency-based model for training in consultation-liaison psychiatry which addresses the issues of how residents are taught to collect and formulate patient data. This model emphasizes the use of behavioral statements to describe the process of how a consultation is done. By comparing the resident's performance with prestated behavioral objectives, a method for residency supervision is offered. The second paper carries this one step further with the application of the model to clinical intervention strategies. The final paper discusses the implications of this approach to some of the issues that surround residency training in this field.
