Summary

The increasing role of psychiatry in the medical curriculum in Denmark is described. The general schedule of psychiatric teaching to medical students is outlined, emphasizing some of the special features of the Danish tradition. Roughly speaking, six per cent of all curriculum time is devoted to psychiatry. Clinical psychiatry, medical psychology and human sexuality are described separately. Interesting new possibilities for psychiatry in connection with a current curriculum reform, allotting more time to clerkships, elective periods and liaison teaching are pointed out.
