Abstract:
This Letter to the Editor reports the effectiveness of a pilot program to increase interest in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) research among diverse trainees. Medical trainees at all career levels were invited to participate in a free, year-long, monthly virtual research workshop series sponsored by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP). Sessions featured diverse CAP researchers sharing their career journeys and research interests during hour-long live workshops with interactive participants. These live sessions were also recorded to allow for later viewing. Survey results from workshop participants indicated that the sessions were effective in improving participant understanding of available CAP research. Sessions were also effective in inspiring participants to learn more about CAP research and how to participate in it. Overall, participants rated the sessions as helpful and would recommend the series to others. Based upon the pilot program, future recommendations include ongoing expansion of such programs highlighting diversity and representation within the CAP research workforce. In addition, optimization of programs should consider ways to maximize recruitment and retention of diverse medical trainees in CAP research.
