Forty-three percent owed more than $200,000 in educational debt. 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. A switch to a 1-year fellowship and higher income potential were noted to be factors that may increase consideration for CAP fellowship among those who chose not to pursue it.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>The majority of early career child and adolescent psychiatrists were recruited during medical school, motivated by altruistic reasons.
