Recommendations From the May 1992 Conference to Enhance Recruitment of U.S. Medical Graduates Into Psychiatry

¹ Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola University, Maywood, IL

From 1988 to 1993, recruitment of U.S. medical graduates into psychiatry has declined by more than one-third. This decline threatens to further exacerbate the shortage of psychiartists projected by the Council on Graduate Medical Education. In May 1992, the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training sponsored a 2-day conference to develop specific courses of action and an overall strategy to reverse this decline. Key recommendations from the conference are presented. The proposed actions are presented in a format that identifies the appropriate medical, educational, or psychiatric organization charged with a specific action's implementation.
