An electronicsurvey form has been sent to primary care physicianswho actively work in Turkey to determine the primarycare physicians’ self-perceived competency levels and thelevel that a medical student should reach at the gradua tion, on the psychiatry related basic practical skills that isin National Core Curriculum 2014. The study was carriedout between October 1, 2017 and September 1, 2018.Descriptive statistical methods and chi square test wereperformed during analysis process. Results: Self-per ceived competency levels on psychiatry related skills ofprimary care physicians were between 27,3% and62,4%. The proportion of incompetent primary carephysicians was statistically higher among physicians whohas graduated from medical school more than five yearsago (p<0.05). Out of nine skills, primary care physicians’perspectives and NCC-2014 levels were consistent.Discussion: Primary care physicians who work in Turkeyhas low self-perceived levels on psychiatry related basicpractical skills in National Core Curriculum 2014. Newlygraduated physicians (five years from graduation) per ceive themselves less incompetent. National CoreCurriculum 2014 levels are compatible with perspectivesof primary care physicians. It is suggested that under graduate medical curricula should be evaluated in termsof psychiatry related basic practical skills.
