  • Psychiatry training in 42 European countries: A comparative analysis

    2021, European Neuropsychopharmacology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Previous studies have shown that a lot of patients in the EU (ranging between 33% in Austria and 82% in Malta) are comfortable with the idea of treatment by a physician trained anywhere in the EU (EC, 2011b). On the one hand, this suggests a widespread belief that medical training is standardized across the EU, and on the other hand, completely sidelines psychiatry's distinctiveness as ‘speaking medicine’ (Galasiński (2018) since European countries do not share a common language. Language proficiency has been correlated with underutilization of psychiatric services (Ai Ohtani et al., 2015).
