Extract

The foundation of the new Department of Psychiatry in the University of Birmingham in January, 1962 was followed by the development of a post-graduate training scheme in psychiatry operating within the area administered by the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board. It was clear at the outset that the Regional psychiatric hospitals were looking to the new Department for positive help in post-graduate training and research and that its creation was accompanied by an air of expectancy. Because, judging from enquiries received, the scheme has excited some attention from outside the Region, it would seem appropriate to give an account of how it operates.
