Psychiatric residency, role models, and leadership
E Sherwood, M Greenblatt and RO Pasnau
Two hundred fifty ex-fellowship psychiatrists answered a questionnaire on
their administrative and other professional experiences during and after
residency as part of a study to determine the relationship between
psychiatric training experiences and interest in administration. A large
majority of subjects had had role models during training. The subjects'
interest in administration had grown significantly during residency in the
direction of their role models' interest. Postresidency interest in
administration was significantly correlated with supervision by a
psychiatrist administrator and with the number of hours subjects spent on
administrative work.
