Abstract

This editorial discusses current challenges faced by educators in undergraduate psychiatry in a community setting. It explores day-to-day difficulties faced by clinical educators and also considers the changing landscape of community services and how this might have an impact on learning opportunities. We call for efforts to improve undergraduate teaching in community psychiatry.
