Abstract
The author discusses the lack of organized faculty attempts to facilitate psychiatric residents' transition to professional practice. Interviewed residents suggested that faculty discontinue their "benign neglect" of the transition and provide information and discussion regarding the realities of different types of practice. He describes the six-session seminar he developed at Massachusetts General Hospital, which focuses on the process of transition from residency to practice, emphasizes the role of faculty as decision facilitators, and explores the costs and benefits of different types of psychiatric practice.Keywords
