AbstractThe authors present and discuss the theoretical and practical development of proposed core competencies for subspecialty training and certification in geriatric psychiatry as required by the Accreditation Council For Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). Changes were derived from a concern that graduate medical education programs must do a better job of ensuring that residents completing their training are competent to practice medicine and adequately prepared to practice in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. Between July 2006 and June 2011, programs will be expected to focus on data-driven measures, both internal and national, for resident and education-program performance. After July 2011, programs will begin to focus on identifying and developing educational centers of excellence.
