The aim of the present study was to carry out a national survey to understand the attitude of early‐career psychiatrists toward child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP). The subjects were 348 early‐career psychiatrists. A questionnaire was sent to the subjects and returned anonymously. A total of 234 subjects (67.2%) responded. Ten out of 115 psychiatrists (8.9%) in their first–third year of experience, and 18 of 119 psychiatrists (15.1%) in their fourth–10th year answered that they had interest in CAP. Psychiatry rotations with adequate CAP cases may be necessary to attract early‐career psychiatrists to CAP.
