<jats:sec id="S2056469421000711_sec_a1"> <jats:title>Aims and method</jats:title> <jats:p>This study aimed to explore factors that positively influence UK medical students’ interest in psychiatry. Delegates and committee members of the National Student Psychiatry Conference 2018 were invited to participate in individual semi-structured interviews. Nine interviews were conducted. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec id="S2056469421000711_sec_a2" sec-type="results"> <jats:title>Results:</jats:title> <jats:p>Four core themes emerged: psychiatry education and exposure, role of a psychiatrist, fitting in, and factors external to medical school. All students had some degree of interest in mental health before medical school, but placement and extra-curricular factors were strongly influential.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec id="S2056469421000711_sec_a3"> <jats:title>Implications</jats:title> <jats:p>Interest in psychiatry may be promoted by facilitating student exposure to enthusiastic psychiatrists and psychiatry subspecialties, encouraging extra-curricular activities and identifying early those with pre-existing interest in mental health on admission to medical school. Aspects of psychiatry that should be promoted include the potential to make a positive difference to patients’ lives and the teamworking elements of the specialty.</jats:p> </jats:sec> | |
