To identify the percentage of alumni of one Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) fellowship program who consider themselves to still practice in the field.
A brief survey (5 questions) was sent to all physicians who began the PEM fellowship program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham between the years 1986 and 2006. Survey included demographics, length of time out of fellowship, present work location, and whether the respondent considered themselves to be in the field of pediatric emergency medicine.
Forty-three physicians were identified as beginning fellowship between 1986 and 2006. One physician was excluded as she was deceased. Forty (95%) of the 42 individuals graduated from a PEM fellowship program. Analyzing the 39 responding PEM graduates, 29 (74%) consider themselves practicing pediatric emergency medicine. Six (60%) of those not considered practicing in PEM (n = 10) are women. Four of these 10 individuals are still in academic medicine. Overall attrition rate for this cohort of PEM fellowship-trained physicians is 25.6% (95% confidence interval, 13.0-42.1).
Overall attrition rates of fellowship-trained PEM physicians seems to mirror that of adult trained counterparts.
确定阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校儿科学急诊医学（PEM） fellowship 项目的校友中，有多少人认为自己仍在该领域工作。
向 1986 年至 2006 年间在阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校开始 PEM fellowship 项目的所有医生发送了一份简短的调查（共 5 个问题）。调查包括人口统计学信息、离开 fellowship 的时间长短、目前的工作地点，以及受访者是否认为自己仍在儿科急诊医学领域。
确定了 43 名在 1986 年至 2006 年间开始 fellowship 的医生。有 1 名医生因去世而被排除在外。42 名个人中有 40 名（95%）毕业于 PEM fellowship 项目。分析 39 名回复的 PEM 毕业生，29 名（74%）认为自己从事儿科急诊医学。不被认为从事 PEM（n=10）的 6 人（60%）为女性。这 10 人中的 4 人仍在从事学术医学。该批 PEM fellowship 培训医生的总体离职率为 25.6%（95%置信区间，13.0-42.1）。
fellowship 培训的 PEM 医生的总体离职率似乎与成人培训医生的离职率相匹配。
