Abstract Objective The burnout crisis in healthcare has led to interventions promoting resiliency and wellness among residents. One such intervention is a 10-week Mind-Body Skills Group including didactics and experiential exercises, self-expression, and small-group support. A Mind-Body Skills Group for residents and fellows in the University of Arizona-Tucson Department of Psychiatry aimed to teach skills for self-care and patient care. Methods In 2018–2020, 50 University of Arizona-Tucson psychiatric residents and fellows participated in Mind-Body Skills Groups. After finishing the course, 44 participants completed a survey about satisfaction with the course and its content, comfort sharing experiences with the group, use of mind-body skills for participants’ own self-care and wellness, use of these skills with patients, and likelihood of recommending the Mind-Body Skills Group to colleagues. Results Eighty-four percent of survey respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with the Mind-Body Skills Group. Eighty percent used skills learned in the course for their own self-care and 61% used the skills with patients on at least a weekly basis. Eighty-nine percent indicated they were likely or very likely to use mind-body skills with patients in the future. Ninety-five percent of respondents felt safe sharing personal feelings and experiences in the group, and 95% would strongly recommend or likely recommend the course to colleagues. Results for in-person and online groups were not significantly different. Conclusions A 10-week Mind-Body Skills Group during psychiatric residency was well received by participants. The course influenced personal health behaviors, which may bolster resiliency and reduce risk for burnout.

This paper draws attention to the problem of attrition in a psychiatric residency program by reviewing the outcome of training of all physicians accepted for psychiatric residencies at the University of Toronto over a six-year period. Of the 142 physicians no longer in training, 71 have become certified psychiatrists. Factors associated with success in training are examined. Those residents who are highly unlikely to become certified psychiatrists could be identified in each of the first three years of training. In view of these findings recommendations are made for improved screening of candidates and for dealing with residents who experience difficulties in training.

synopsisFaculty ratings of 22 foreign medical graduates (‘FMGs’), all of whom entered psychiatric residency training at the University of Missouri–Columbia from 1966 through 1973, were compared with those of a similar group of North American medical graduates (‘AMGs’). An on-going evaluation programme provided data for a variety of parameters ranging from ‘theoretical knowledge’ to ‘clinical skills’. Results indicated that in most areas of performance the median FMG started at a level substantially lower than that of the median AMG and very slowly caught up. When achievement criteria were utilized it became apparent that, at least by the third year of training, ‘superior’ FMGs could equal or surpass the median performance of ‘superior’ AMGs, whereas ‘marginal’ residents, whether foreign or native-born, seldom attained even competence in most major spheres of functioning. Implications of these findings and those in related studies are discussed.

Drop Outs

Fifteen percent of physicians who began psychiatric residencies at the University of Toronto over a six-year period dropped out. Data were analysed in an effort to determine what factors were related to these resignations. Background data could not differentiate drop-outs from the rest of their cohorts. Drop-outs were rated equal to the non drop-outs by supervisors after one year of training; but after two years of training the remaining were rated to have poorer capabilities for psychiatry. Drop-outs were also more likely to spend their first year in training in a mental hospital. These findings are discussed and recommendations are made for reducing the number of competent residents resigning from training.

ABSTRACT Augusto Moreno is credited with establishing the first radiocarbon (14C) laboratory in Mexico in the 1950s, however, 14C measurement with the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) technique was not achieved in our country until 2003. Douglas Donahue from the University of Arizona, a pioneer in using AMS for 14C dating, participated in that experiment; then, the idea of establishing a 14C AMS laboratory evolved into a feasible project. This was finally reached in 2013, thanks to the technological developments in AMS and sample preparation with automated equipment, and the backing and support of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the National Council for Science and Technology. The Mexican AMS Laboratory, LEMA, with a compact 1 MV system from High Voltage Engineering Europa, and its sample preparation laboratories with IonPlus automated graphitization equipment, is now a reality.
