Starting in 2013, all pediatric residents entering fellowship must be provided six educational units whose structure is to be determined by their individual career plans. We sought to determine whether (1) neonatology fellowship program directors (PDs) consistently identify certain weaknesses among incoming fellows and (2) neonatology fellowship PDs agree on the most beneficial activities in which pediatric residents should participate to improve preparation for entry into neonatology fellowships.
We sent a 21-question survey focused on the structure and implementation of the 6-unit curriculum to all members of the Organization of Neonatology Training Program Directors.
Sixty-seven percent of PDs responded. Seventy-five percent cited insufficient procedural skills as the primary weakness of incoming fellows. More than 80% rated additional training in clinical neonatology, including procedural and resuscitation training, as 'beneficial' or 'highly beneficial'. In contrast, fewer than 40% of PDs gave the same positive ratings to activities broadly focused on scholarship.
The results of the survey may help guide pediatric residency programs as they undertake development of these new curricular initiatives for individual residents entering neonatology.
自 2013 年起，所有进入 fellowship的儿科住院医师必须获得六个教育单元，其结构由个人职业规划决定。我们旨在确定（1）新生儿科住院医师培训计划主任（PD）是否一致发现即将到来的研究员存在某些弱点，以及（2）新生儿科住院医师培训 PD 是否同意儿科住院医师应参与的最有益的活动，以改善进入新生儿科培训的准备。
我们向所有新生儿科培训计划主任组织的成员发送了一份 21 个问题的调查，重点关注 6 个单元课程的结构和实施。
67%的 PD 做出了回应。75%的 PD 认为即将到来的研究员的主要弱点是程序技能不足。超过 80%的 PD 认为在临床新生儿学方面进行额外的培训，包括程序和复苏培训，是“有益的”或“非常有益的”。相比之下，不到 40%的 PD 对广泛关注学术的活动给予了同样的积极评价。
调查结果可能有助于指导儿科住院医师培训计划，因为它们为进入新生儿科的个别住院医师制定这些新的课程计划。
