A survey was conducted to ascertain the current situation of early-mid-career pediatric cardiologists (<20 years of experience) practicing in India. A formatted questionnaire was sent as a Google Form through email and WhatsApp link. Out of 275 eligible participants, 138 responses were received. Two pediatric cardiologists independently analyzed the data and responses are presented. Results showed pediatric cardiology is not considered a lucrative career option by most of the surveyed Indian pediatric cardiologists. Urgent remedial measures are needed to maintain the recently found momentum in the field in the country.
为了确定印度从业经验在20年以内的中青年儿科心脏病专家的现状,开展了一项调查。通过电子邮件和WhatsApp链接,以谷歌表单的形式发送了一份格式化问卷。在275名符合条件的参与者中,收到了138份回复。两名儿科心脏病专家独立分析了数据,并呈现了相关回复。结果显示,大多数接受调查的印度儿科心脏病专家并不认为儿科心脏病学是一个利润丰厚的职业选择。需要采取紧急补救措施,以维持该国该领域最近出现的发展势头。
