Biopsychosocial formulation remains an important skill for both residents and faculty. If it is not taught early and adequately, then residents fail to develop this skill. Despite a number of evidence-based teaching tools, residents continue to voice concern about when and how formulation is being taught in training programs. A survey in Canada showed that residents were dissatisfied with the current “status quo”. Structured teaching was deemed important; as was hearing supervisors formulate. Small group teaching was valued and early exposure was also considered beneficial. The purpose of our paper is to demonstrate a novel technique for teaching biopsychosocial formulation to psychiatry residents of all training levels. We detail a workshop we developed for both residents and faculty that combines faculty formulations with small and large group work. We recognize that this initial workshop was a small first step in changing the culture of formulation teaching. More studies are needed to determine exactly which teaching methods should be employed in a more robust and structured formulation curriculum.
