Extract
The rotational training scheme now forms the basis of psychiatric training. The advantages include the provision of experience in a wide variety of posts, while permitting educational continuity as well as the stability that accrues from having a job over a long period of time. Achieving a Balance threatens to change the structure of the rotation and thus the very nature of psychiatric training. The main consequences are the division of combined rotations into separate senior house officer and registrar rotations, competitive interviews for registrars, and the expansion to multi-district rotations.
