ABSTRACT
Integration of mental health into primary care has become a global trend, and many countries have developed mental health training in primary care. However, systematic mental health training for family physicians is insufficient in Japan. The newly established Japan Primary Care Association Mental Health Committee surveyed the current status of mental health training curricula in family medicine residency internationally. Participants were individuals involved in family medicine residency programs who were from Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The results revealed that many academic societies have created competency lists and curriculum guidelines for mental health training; however, the implementation varied. This study is novel as it examined and compared different countries' curriculum; the findings of which can be used as a reference to develop future mental health training curriculum in Japan.
