Abstract

Introduction: In this paper, a collective of Psychiatry Residents from Valencia surveys the degree of achievement and satisfaction with the Spanish programme.

Method: Every resident received an enquiry and a letter with instructions to fill it. Colleagues who did not answer back, were contacted and sent a new enquiry.

Results: We received a total of 142 enquiries from 52 institutions (80% of the total). The results are distributed in supervision, theoretical training, research, rotatories, assistential pressure, staff-resident ratio, training out of the programme and satisfaction.

Conclusions: This work show that the programme is not being carried out properly. There are still some deficiencies in many rotatories, even though they have been improved. In spite of it, the level of satisfaction with the residence is acceptable.
