Abstract
Reasoning that the psychiatrist should function as both a medical specialist and a general physician, the author considers the legal, competency, and tranference issues this approach brings up. He then describes what has been done to implement a medical approach for faculty and residents in a psychiatric training program. The program includes seminars on the psychiatrist as a physician, a comprehensive rotation in neurology, and the application of basic medical skills on inpatient units.Keywords
