Exploring Career Choice Among Black Psychiatry Interns: an Exploratory Qualitative Study

ConclusionThis qualitative study identified many influential factors that were deemed important to Black interns in their decision to pursue a residency in psychiatry. With the information learned from these interviews, educators within psychiatry can bolster their support of Black medical students, encourage pursuit of a career in psychiatry, and ultimately, work toward reducing disparities in psychiatric care. Future research should examine additional collective notions of career decision-making.
