Abstract
While each sector of medical practice and academic medicine confronts the reality of a changing economic environment driven by managed care, psychiatry faces some of the most difficult challenges in defining the future roles and training of psychiatrists. In this paper we describe the challenges and opportunities for psychiatry in this new era, as well as some of the unique problems facing academic psychiatry departments as they seek to fund their academic mission.
