Abstract
Part of psychiatry''s recruitment problem stems from large-scale defections among students who were planning careers in psychiatry when they entered medical school. Data indicated that University of Maryland Maryland, USA, freshmen who preferred psychiatry were more than 4 times as likely to enter psychiatric residency training if they participated in the Combined Accelerated Program in Psychiatry, a continuous 4-yr medical school track, than if they pursued the regular undergraduate psychiatry program. An enthusiastic psychiatric faculty intimately involved with students over an extended period of time was apparently the crucial factor neutralizing antipsychiatric socialization experiences in medical school.
