The Master of Medicine in Psychiatry (Clinical Specialist Training) at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is an intensive four‑year postgraduate programme that prepares medical graduates for specialist practice in psychiatry. Training is delivered in three progressive phases: Phase I (Year 1) establishes core clinical foundations; Phase II (Years 2–3) offers rotational subspecialty postings to broaden clinical expertise across psychiatric disciplines; and Phase III (Year 4) focuses on advanced consultation psychiatry with trainees serving as registrars in training. The curriculum combines supervised clinical exposure, evidence‑based practice, professional development and research training to produce competent, ethical and patient‑centred psychiatrists ready for roles in clinical services, academia and community mental health.
