Chinese child psychiatrists have recognised a need to secure training that represents the most advanced ideas in their field. Turning to senior child psychiatrists in the United States, Dr Jianping Lu worked with them to design a training programme for child psychiatrists in Shenzhen, which then expanded to become a national model. This article details the reasons for the programme, its origins and history, and the outline of the current programme that now reaches child psychiatrists throughout China.

Child Psychiatrists

Interest in the training of psychiatrists is not a new development in Great Britain (Lewis, 1964). Child psychiatry training has a more recent history (Warren, 1974). The RMPA in 1967 approved documents outlining principles and requirements for the training of child psychiatrists. The most recent guidelines were issued by the Joint Committee for Higher Psychiatric Training (JCHPT) in 1975. They advanced the principle that a variety of experience was a requirement of any training programme, and they detailed the types of clinical experience, supervision facilities and formal teaching occasions that should be available.

In the introduction to his Chairman's address in 1959, Warren (24) reminded us that both Cameron (6) from this country and Kanner (17) from the United States, had, in recent years, surveyed the historical background of child psychiatry. Chairmen of this Section may thus deem themselves exempted from repeating that task for some years to come. Warren took as his theme some relationships between the psychiatry of childhood and that of adulthood. It seemed to me appropriate to follow his lead and to carry our thoughts a step further by considering the child and adult as members of the family group, and to study how far it would be useful to accept the nuclear family, rather than the individual patient, as the functional unit in psychiatry.

Dynamic Psychology

In this review Winnicott concludes that the work is excellent for those interested in child psychiatry and in the roots of mental health and mental disorder. He believes that the volumes contain important contributions to every aspect of dynamic psychology and its practice. Winnicott recommends Anna Freud’s contribution to a symposium on aggression, August Aichhorn on female juvenile delinquents, and articles by René A. Spitz, on observations of infants deprived of natural human relationships. He asserts that the volumes provide a valuable link between psychoanalysis in the United States and in Great Britain and Holland.

Over Time

The development of smaller, mobile, sophisticated ultrasound machines has been central to echocardiography becoming an everyday tool in the intensive care setting. However, the parallel process of ensuring quality studies are obtained from these machines places a focus on training standards for the doctors operating them. In response, credentialing and certification programmes in advanced critical care echocardiography have come into existence around the world, and although they are not identical, the programmes share many of the same features whether it is run in France, Scotland, Australia, the United States, or elsewhere. The challenge of determining the optimum training programme is an ongoing process and will no doubt evolve further over time. Yet the development of the programmes to date demonstrate how far critical care physicians have come over the past two decades in achieving quality care in the use of echocardiography.

Background: With approximately one pathologist for one million people compared to ratios of approximately 1 to 25 000 in the United States and United Kingdom, there is a severe shortage of pathologists in much of Africa. The situation is particularly severe in Zambia, where, in 2009, the ratio was 1 to 1.4 million.Objective: To address this, a postgraduate Master of Medicine (MMed) training programme was launched in Lusaka in 2011.Methods: The process and most significant challenges and lessons learned were documented, as they may be of value to other countries facing similar challenges.Results: Since 2011, four Zambian pathologists have graduated, doubling the number of indigenous pathologists in the country. Currently 10 students are in training. The most significant problem was issues arising from the split responsibilities of the Ministries of Health and of Education and the most important lesson learned was the crucial need for broad local ownership and commitment.Conclusion: Successfully addressing the shortage of local pathologists by creating country-specific, postgraduate MMed training programmes, even in situations of restricted resources, is feasible. However, having access to and support from the shared resources, expertise and knowledge of a regional College of Pathologists would be a major advantage.
