To assess the impact of the increased proportion of female psychiatrists and trainees, the rapid reduction of international medical graduates allowed in the country, and the expanding number of practitioners with subspecialization on the future pool of psychiatrist researchers in Canadian academic departments of psychiatry.
A questionnaire was adapted to suit the Canadian milieu and distributed to a target population of 2484, including a core of 522 full-time faculty.
Female psychiatrists responding to the questionnaire reported less research involvement overall than their male counterparts. International medical graduates with both undergraduate and residency training abroad reported more research interests than other graduate categories. Respondents training in a subspecialty showed no difference in research commitment.
Concerted efforts must be made to recruit, support, and retain female researchers. Particular attention must be paid to developing research expertise among Canadian medical graduates. The trend towards subspecialization influences only the selection of research topic.
评估加拿大精神病学学术部门中女性精神科医生及实习生比例增加、该国允许的国际医学毕业生数量迅速减少以及专科化从业者数量不断增加对未来精神科研究人员储备的影响。
对一份问卷进行调整以适应加拿大的环境，并分发给2484名目标人群，其中包括522名全职教员的核心群体。
回复问卷的女性精神科医生总体上报告的研究参与度低于男性同行。在国外接受本科和住院医师培训的国际医学毕业生比其他毕业生类别报告了更多的研究兴趣。接受专科培训的受访者在研究投入方面没有差异。
必须齐心协力招募、支持和留住女性研究人员。必须特别关注培养加拿大医学毕业生的研究专业知识。专科化趋势仅影响研究主题的选择。
