A program of research training in psychiatry: ten-year evaluation and follow-up.
Nineteen psychiatrists who participated in the research training program at Boston University School of Medicine from July 1962 to June 1972 were surveyed by questionnaire to determine how participation in the training program may have affected their subsequent professional careers. Results indicate that-probably via a happy combination of self-selection, screening, and the actual experience of research training-these 19 psychiatrists constitute an impressive group who are active in research, publish extensively, and assume substantial teaching responsibilities at medical schools. The authors suggest tha a postresidency program in research training can be extremely important to the development of careers in psychiatric research and to a more scientifically grounded profession.
