Abstract
Summary: In 1977, the University of Adelaide extended the psychiatric training of medical undergraduates to their 6th year. The four weeks course in psychiatry, for groups of no more than sixteen students at one time, was spent at an acute receiving unit of a psychiatric hospital and combined with a series of visits to a wide range of psychiatric subspecialties in the community. A systematic evaluation of the course showed that it was well received by students and by the preceptors who supervised students in the various hospitals and psychiatric units.
