The allocation of professional time of board-certified pediatric cardiologists in 1980 to 1981 was compared with that of pediatric cardiologists in 1967, by use of a similar questionnaire. At both times, the majority of pediatric cardiologists were in a full-time academic or hospital setting. In 1980 to 1981, the number of hours devoted to professional activities was significantly less than during the earlier period, with the reduction being principally in amount of time devoted to research, either clinical or basic, and teaching. This change has implications for manpower and the scientific aspects of pediatric cardiology. An average of 40 physicians enter pediatric cardiology yearly. With the current number of certified pediatric cardiologists, and a modest number of pediatric cardiologists who will leave the field in the next half decade, we project 900 pediatric cardiologists in 1990. A number of factors are discussed that will influence the needs for pediatric cardiologists.
通过使用类似的调查问卷，对比了1980年至1981年获得委员会认证的儿科心脏病专家与1967年儿科心脏病专家的专业时间分配情况。在这两个时期，大多数儿科心脏病专家都在全职学术或医院环境中工作。1980年至1981年期间，用于专业活动的时间显著少于早期，减少的主要是用于临床或基础研究以及教学的时间。这种变化对儿科心脏病学的人力和科学方面都有影响。平均每年有40名医生进入儿科心脏病学领域。根据目前获得认证的儿科心脏病专家数量，以及未来五年内将离开该领域的儿科心脏病专家数量不多的情况，我们预计到1990年将有900名儿科心脏病专家。文中讨论了一些将影响儿科心脏病专家需求的因素。
