Description
Summary:Aims: To explore how global challenges such as climate change, artificial intelligence (AI), and migration intersect with generational change among psychiatric trainees and reshape specialist training. Methods: An integrative review drawing on symposium contributions and a comprehensive literature review to assess the evolving priorities and challenges in psychiatric training. Results: Younger psychiatrists increasingly prioritize work-life balance, sustainability, and participatory learning environments. However, gaps remain in integrating climate-related knowledge, transcultural competence, AI literacy and neurodevelopmental disorders within psychiatric curricula. Generational tensions and traditional hierarchical structures further complicate training. Conclusions: A new training model is needed that fosters mutual understanding between generations, encourages reflective dialogue, and supports collaborative learning. Preparing psychiatrists for the future requires updated content and a commitment to relational transformation and co-created educational practices.
