Abstract

Objective: Contemporary medical education lacks a strong focus on health economics which guides major decisions in private and public health services. We briefly outline the rationale, guiding principles, main analytic methods, and a suggested framework for health economics education in psychiatry. Conclusions: Health economics aims to improve the efficiency of healthcare. Some analytic methods can be harnessed by psychiatrists to better plan clinical care. Health economic methods will also assist psychiatrists in translating their expertise and clinical priorities more effectively to policy-makers, governments, and private insurers motivated by economic reasoning.
