“…[36][37][38] Much has been written about improving coverage of women's health concerns in medical training. [39][40][41][42] For example, gender-specific knowledge has historically been sparse or absent in many medical textbooks and presentations, with some overtly demeaning and sexist. 22,[43][44][45][46][47][48] In 1995, Ruth Simkin 49 and Susan Phillips 50 demanded more contextual, inclusive definitions of women's health that recognised injustices and worked to address power imbalances and systemic injustices.…”

To adequately address gendered issues of sexual harassment, wage gaps, and leadership inequities, medical institutions must interrogate medical education. Feminist theories can help to understand how power operates within our classrooms and at the bedside. This scoping review maps the four main ways in which feminist theory has been applied to medical education and medical education research-namely, critical appraisal of what is taught in medical curricula; exploration of the experiences of women in medical training; informing pedagogical approaches to how medicine is taught; and finally, medical education research, determining both areas of inquiry and methodologies. Feminist theory has the potential to move clinicians and educators from theory to action, building bridges of solidarity between the medical profession and the community it is called to serve.

“…Consistent with these trends in medical school curricula, a survey of psychiatry residency training directors revealed that while many programs (as many as 90%) offer formal didactic training in women’s health issues, relatively few offer corresponding clinical rotations (Gold and Epstein 2006). Program directors reported that 29% did not offer clinical rotations in women’s health and 46% offered only one or two rotations, of which less than 25% were required (Gold and Epstein 2006).…”

In 2014, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health emphasized the importance of women's health education, particularly in the realm of behavioral health. In order to support the professional interests of psychiatry trainees, a women's mental health study group (WMHSG) was developed and implemented. The WMHSG aimed primarily to supplement the resident curriculum and promote consideration of careers in women's mental health. After successful implementation, the curriculum was formalized into a Women's Mental Health Area of Concentration within the Department of Psychiatry's residency training program. Participants found the WMHSG to be interesting, to increase knowledge and improve clinical practice, and to facilitate mentorship opportunities. The creation and evolution of a WMHSG into an Area of Concentration offers an example for enhancing training in WMH topics and principles that can be extended to other medical specialties.

“…For example, a survey which queried training directors regarding whether their programmes addressed women ' s issues in psychiatry found that although greater than 80% of training programmes offered some didactic instruction related to this topic, 29% of programmes did not offer specifi c clinical experience in this area, and the inclusion of each of a series of 18 didactic subtopics ranged from 19 -90%. (Gold & Epstein, 2006). A similar survey examined geriatrics education in psychiatry training programmes, and likewise found marked variability in the fraction of training devoted to this area.…”

The evidence base for the field of psychiatry is rapidly changing in the twenty-first century due to advances in neuroscience that are in the process of being translated into clinical interventions. The delivery systems for mental healthcare are simultaneously undergoing dramatic transformations as the field attempts to meet population needs effectively and efficiently. These changes demand a reconsideration of the content and priorities of psychiatric training programmes for both medical students and residents. This article examines the current state of psychiatric practice, as well as future challenges and potential models of practice, and discusses how these changes are impacting the present needs of trainees. Preparing today's medical students and residents to be active participants in the creation of the mental healthcare delivery system of the future is the key to the success of the specialism and to the welfare of tomorrow's patients.
