New models of education for young psychiatrists

Abstract

The EEE WPA-Servier Academy was created in 2012. In 6 years 21 young researchers from the WPA zone 10 participated in EPA and ECNP Congresses and prepared peer-reviews on the most interesting topics for psychiatric journals of Eastern Europe. Seventy articles were written, which appeared as 91 publications in 13 journals from seven countries. As a result the first Congress of the young psychiatrists of Eastern Europe took place in Minsk (Belarus). Suzdal Schools of Young Psychiatrists have existed for more than 40 years. Their main features are distinguished: a high scientific level, diverse and rich programme, internationalization, scope, duration, variety of the methods and forms of material presentation, and a multi-stage scientific competition. The preservation of the traditions of the school and the unusual atmosphere of the School are noted. About 4000 psychiatrists of three generations are graduates of these schools.
