Popis: Learning about the scope of psychiatric practice in the general hospital is essential for trainees and their patients. Consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry (officially named psychosomatic medicine), the subspecialty of psychiatry that deals with the care of patients with comorbid psychiatric and medical/surgical illness, is taught through formal didactics, teaching and bedside rounds, and demonstration of specific skills (eg, critical thinking, autognosis [self-knowledge]). Both the process and the content f these educational forums are equally important. In this article, we discuss the heory, place, techniques, and challenges of teaching the craft of consultation sychiatry.
