To define the distribution of Pediatric Surgeons in Brazil and the distribution of job offered for specialists in the country. To compare the professional profile of Brazilian Pediatric Surgeons with other countries.
Statistical data derived from Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Brazilian Medical Council (CFM) and Brazilian Society of Pediatric Surgery (CIPE) were used to define the professional profile of pediatric surgeons in Brazil.
Eight-hundred-and-five pediatric surgeons are needed in Brazil only to treat neonates and toddlers. Professionals are excessively concentrated in South and Southeast and insufficient numbers are found in North and Northeast. Data about the number of pediatric surgeons working in Brazil are conflicting: data obtained from FIOCRUZ differ from those from CFM and CIPE. The working routine of Brazilian pediatric surgeons is different from that of North-American and European specialists, from where the major part of our references is extracted.
Brazil needs a minimum of 805 pediatric surgeons working full time only to treat nenonates and toddlers. Specialists are not well distributed throughout the country. The southeast is a training center and exports specialists to the rest of the country. Epidemiological data concerning the distribution of professionals in Brazil are conflicting.
确定巴西儿科外科医生的分布情况以及该国为专科医生提供的工作岗位分布。比较巴西儿科外科医生与其他国家的专业概况。
使用来自巴西地理与统计研究所（IBGE）、巴西医学委员会（CFM）和巴西儿科外科学会（CIPE）的统计数据来确定巴西儿科外科医生的专业概况。
仅治疗新生儿和幼儿，巴西就需要805名儿科外科医生。专业人员过度集中在南部和东南部，而北部和东北部数量不足。关于在巴西工作的儿科外科医生数量的数据相互矛盾：从奥斯瓦尔多·克鲁兹基金会（FIOCRUZ）获得的数据与从CFM和CIPE获得的数据不同。巴西儿科外科医生的工作日常与北美和欧洲专家不同，我们的主要参考文献来自这些地区。
巴西至少需要805名全职儿科外科医生仅用于治疗新生儿和幼儿。专科医生在全国分布不均。东南部是一个培训中心，并向该国其他地区输出专家。关于巴西专业人员分布的流行病学数据相互矛盾。
