There have been 47 MSSP participants from 2012 to 2021. Rapid growth of the MSSP was seen with class sizes ranging from 1 to 11. At the time of survey, nineteen MSSP alumni graduated medical school and 28 were still in medical school. Sixty-six percent of eligible participants responded, with a 53% response rate for medical school alumni and a 75% response rate for current medical students. Nine out of nineteen (47%) MSSP students who had graduated from medical school selected a career in psychiatry. Eighty-four percent of participants had presented or published their research. Sixty-eight percent of participants reported that the program has been valuable in deciding their future specialty.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>Participants tended to credit exposure to psychiatric research as medical students with fostering interest in the field and aiding in their career decisions.

The top reasons for pursuing a career in child and adolescent psychiatry included working with children, finding it to be a rewarding career, and finding it intellectually stimulating.
