[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 563961, member: 14557"] What are the reasons government/whatever gives you for that? We too have a shortage of psychiatrists, and not only for children but for adults too. Other areas we are short of MDs (mainly primary care, general practise and dentistry especially in small towns) there has been some success hiring foreign doctors and putting them to intensive language programs, but language skills one gets that way are not enough for psychiatry. With psychiatry they say they have a really difficult time to get young doctors to choose to specialise to that. They simply can not get residents for the spots they would have. They say that it is because young doctors feel that psychiatry is unrewarding, pill pushing, no therapeutic work or other things they would find meaningful. They don't want to be overworked prescription automates, who see a patient briefly every three months and nothing ever gets better. Sounds like rather grim vision, but I guess there is a point in that. [/QUOTE]
