The findings were presented at the symposium “Psychiatric training in Eastern Europe and the Balkans: compatibility, exchange, evolution, and modeling” at the 2nd Congress of the Association of Psychiatrists of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, in Moscow, 2009.

Experiences from Serbia were shared at the symposium “Psychiatric reform and its implications in psychiatric education and training in South-Eastern Europe” during the First International Conference for Trainees, as part of the National Psychiatric Congress of Greece, in Eratini, 2010.
