Data suggests significantly higher attrition rates of graduate students compared to other health professional programs. Several key differences exist between the training paradigm of Ph.D. programs and other health professional fields, such as the dynamics of group training, differences and frequency of mentor and mentee feedback, and awareness of mental health resources. Many reasons contribute to graduate school attrition, including inadequate mentorship, a paucity of mental health resources, and increasing expenses to attend graduate school. Conversely, failing to adequately train graduate students is a failure to trainees, universities, and the broader public in terms of finances, invested time, and intellectual commitments. Diverse approaches to ensure mentor accountability, supporting emotional health, and increasing financial resources may help raise the graduate rates among graduate students.
数据表明，与其他健康专业项目相比，研究生的流失率显著更高。博士项目的培训模式与其他健康专业领域存在几个关键差异，例如小组培训的动态、导师与学员反馈的差异和频率，以及对心理健康资源的认知。导致研究生流失的原因有很多，包括指导不足、心理健康资源匮乏以及攻读研究生的费用不断增加。相反，未能充分培养研究生，在财务、投入的时间和智力投入方面，对学员、大学和更广泛的公众而言都是一种失败。确保导师责任制、支持情绪健康和增加财政资源的多种方法，可能有助于提高研究生的毕业率。
