Abstract

The analysis of the training of mental health professionals in WPA Zone 10 was performed based on a comparison of data of a specifically designed questionnaire comprising 29 questions on undergraduate education, 34 questions on postgraduate training, and six questions on training of general practitioners to work in the field of mental health. The project involved National Associations of psychiatrists of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine. This comparison provides an opportunity to identify ways to improve psychiatric training in Eastern Europe.
