Associations between adverse childhood experiences and medical students’ interest in careers

The prevalence of medical students living with a household member with mental illness was approximately double than reported in population-based studies. Childhood trauma exposure may influence medical students' interests in psychiatry and academic medicine careers. Further research is needed to investigate how ACEs influence medical students' career considerations. Research exploring ACEs exposure in academic physicians and psychiatrists may further illuminate the associations found in this brief report. Importantly, advancements in trauma-informed approaches to medical education are necessary to facilitate safe learning environments
