ABSTRACT
Background:
Childcare leave extensions can sometimes negatively affect the professional clinical training of early-career psychiatrists in Japan. During childcare leave, being able to learn in the examination room while staying at home would be useful. Therefore, we developed a training system using a teleoperated robot (Sota) for young psychiatrists who wanted to participate in the examination room during childcare leave while remaining at home. Case Presentation We report the case of a patient with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) comorbid with Tourette's disorders (P). A young female psychiatrist (D) used the training system to learn from a board-certified psychiatrist. In this case, the board-certified psychiatrist, P, and the robot were placed in the examination room. D teleoperated Sota from home, allowing her to talk to the board-certified psychiatrist and P. She learned about the clinical features of Tourette's syndrome by observing the examination of the board-certified psychiatrist and hearing the patient's distress. P was satisfied with the fact that he was seen not only by a board-certified psychiatrist but also by D.Conclusion:
These case findings suggest that our system is helpful for young psychiatrists who want to study in the examination room during childcare leave while staying at home. Future studies should include a single-case experimental design with information regarding key outcome variables and other relevant variables gathered regularly over time.
