Psychiatric Impairment in Medical Students.

Dickstein, Leah J.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v65 n9 p588-93 Sep 1990

This retrospective study of 217 medical students who had sought psychiatric consultation was designed to verify earlier findings. It was hypothesized that more women seek psychiatric consultation; problems would differ according to gender and academic class; women would show more evidence of role strain and remain in treatment longer; etc. (Author/MLW)
