The medical schools of origin were identified in 1229 psychiatrists who qualified in the United Kingdom in the years 1961-75. The group was defined operationally as those who had entered for the preliminary test of the membership examination of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. From 1966-75 only 4 per cent of doctors opted for a career in the specialty. There are wide discrepancies between medical schools in the proportion of their graduates who enter psychiatry. The most likely reasons for this have to do with differences in student selection, the models of psychiatry put forward, the enthusiasm of teachers and the career pull from other specialties, notably general practice. A number of suggestions which might help to improve recruitment to psychiatry are put forward.
我们确定了1961年至1975年间在英国取得资格的1229名精神科医生的医学院校出身。该群体在操作上被定义为那些报名参加皇家精神科医学院会员资格考试初步测试的人。1966年至1975年间，只有4%的医生选择从事该专业。医学院校毕业生进入精神科的比例存在很大差异。最可能的原因与学生选拔的差异、提出的精神科模式、教师的热情以及来自其他专业（尤其是全科医学）的职业吸引力有关。文中还提出了一些可能有助于改善精神科人才招募情况的建议。
