The results of the recent residency matching program revealed a decline in the number of US medical school graduates applying for positions in pediatric training programs. In 1987, 1366 graduating seniors, 10% of the graduating class, applied for 2009 PL 1 positions. In 1989, 1256, 9.3% of those graduating, applied for 2068 positions. Sixty-eight percent of PL 1 positions were filled by graduates of US medical schools in 1987, and an additional 14% (284) by foreign medical graduates.

Do So

Our Canadian programs produce about 100 psychiatrists a year and are likely to do so for the next three or four. There are approximately 4,400 medical students in the country at present (5). If we use Funkenstein's figure of 10% of medical students and Clarke and Fish's figure of 11.4% of residents opting for psychiatry it means an indigenous pool of 400 students or 100 a year (4). This number can be increased by foreign medical graduates, reduction in Certification and Fellowship failures, reducing the brain-drain, and inducing Canadian graduates to return home. The country-needs another 785 psychiatrists immediately to attain a 1:10,000 ratio of psychiatrists to population. At the present rates of psychiatrist production and population growth the manpower picture would improve only very slowly. It appears that the capacity of present training programs is not adequate to meet national requirements even if enough trainees were available to fill them. The time is ripe for imaginative and novel solutions to this problem.
