A workshop on the teaching of psychiatry to undergraduate medical students was held at the Institute of Psychiatry on 6 May 1981. Dr S. Greer and Dr C. Bass organized the meeting on behalf of the Association of University Teachers of Psychiatry, and there were sessions on four topics during the day; recruitment to psychiatry; the measurement of students' attitudes towards psychiatry and the use of ‘liaison’ psychiatry as a teaching method; the use of videotapes in teaching medical students interviewing skills—a practical demonstration; and a panel discussion of the problems in teaching undergraduates psychiatry.
