Psychiatric Ethics Stumper

So recently I happened to be perusing the Code of Conduct, or Ethical Guidelines or whatever it is called that is put out by the APA. One of the rules is that it is unethical to practice outside your area of competence. I take "area of competence" to mean "psychiatry." But anyone who has finished intern year can get a state medical license and be a GP. Will they be a good one? Who knows. Still isn't the "area of competence" for all MDs who have done an intern year "everything?" How do GPs get malpractice insurance by the way?
