Abstract:
Graduation Questionnaire data collected by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) were used to identify student and medical school characteristics associated with future psychiatrists' career plans. Subjects were senior medical students in the class of 1986 who definitely planned to specialize in psychiatry or child psychiatry. Medical school variables such as research experience, publication history, and exposure to a research-oriented environment were associated with plans for a career in academic medicine or research (versus clinical practice). Membership in a non-underrepresented minority group, having taken elective course work at a military or government agency, and having attended a private medical school all were associated with plans for a career in salaried clinical practice (versus private clinical practice).
