Abstract
There was a time when overseas psychiatrists considered themselves fortunate to come to this country to be an assistant in one of the well-known postgraduate departments. If they showed perseverance they could learn enough to obtain an English postgraduate qualification, and they could participate in the training of English psychiatrists. The more entrepreneurial of them could obtain full-time jobs in psychiatry, but otherwise hands on experience of patient care was limited.Keywords
