Has anyone taken the Columbia Psychotherapy Exam? How do you people prepare for it? Is this a big deal?

Granted, not every psychiatrist wants to dispense drugs all day long (though financially this is the optimal strategy), but I cannot imagine doing med checks 10-min per patient, and then sitting down for an hour to do psychodynamic therapy. Perhaps it's just my Type-A personality?
That's pretty much all of third year psych residency...brief visits (med checks) interspersed with intakes, and 45-min therapy sessions, which may also incorporate pharmacological management.PublicHealth said:As a psychiatrist, is it difficult for you to reconcile the fast-paced world of psychopharmacology with the sluggish pace of long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy?
