Are we training psychiatrists to develop skills in intellectual disability psychiatry? Current European context and future directions.

ABSTRACT: The majority of people with intellectual disabilities (ID) and psychiatric disorders access mainstream mental health services across Europe. However, only 56% of countries provide postgraduate psychiatric training in ID according to a survey across 42 European countries. We explore the challenges of ID training and make recommendations for education and health policymakers.
