Abstract
This study reports the suggestions made to Departments of Psychiatry in medical schools about ways they can exert a more positive influence on medical students’ choice of psychiatry as a specialty. The suggestions were made by 222 United States medical school graduates of 1982 who went directly into a first year postgraduate psychiatric training program. The 332 suggestions were directed toward admission to medical school, psychiatric curriculum, teaching approaches, psychiatric faculty, relations with non-psychiatric departments, and psychiatry as a specialty. Of the 332 suggestions, 177 (53%) dealt with psychiatric education.
