Postgraduate psychiatry training in the Middle East: Challenges and regional solutions
This paper presents a comparative overview of postgraduate psychiatry training programs across the Middle East. Drawing on national training frameworks and peer-reviewed literature, it highlights the diversity in educational models, including curricula, training methods, assessment methods, accreditation processes, training durations, and subspecialty pathways in the region. Common challenges such as workforce shortages, curriculum variability and disruptions caused by conflict are examined alongside regional efforts toward harmonization and quality improvement. By identifying both innovative practices and persistent gaps, this review contributes to global mental health education and offers targeted, evidence-based recommendations to enhance psychiatry training in the region.
