A nationwide survey of Canadian pediatricians was undertaken to answer questions about demographic and practice characteristics, perceptions of the quantity and quality of residency training in relation to the realities of practice, and the patterns of use and the value of continuing medical education. The findings included a lower average age of pediatricians from that determined 10 years earlier, a higher proportion of women practising pediatrics, and higher proportions of pediatricians entering practice in smaller communities, doing geographic full-time university work and doing mainly consulting work. Pediatrics is still perceived as an attractive discipline, but there is dissatisfaction with the quantity and quality of training in adolescent medicine, ophthalmology, dermatology, psychosocial pediatrics and orthopedics. The changing patterns of continuing medical education among the most recent certificants suggest a need for journals and professional societies to assess how they can better meet the needs of Canadian pediatricians in this area.
为了回答有关人口统计学和执业特征、对住院医师培训数量和质量与实际执业情况相关性的看法以及继续医学教育的使用模式和价值等问题，对加拿大儿科医生进行了一项全国性调查。调查结果包括：与10年前确定的年龄相比，儿科医生的平均年龄有所降低；从事儿科工作的女性比例更高；在较小社区开始执业、从事全日制大学地理工作以及主要从事咨询工作的儿科医生比例更高。儿科仍然被认为是一个有吸引力的学科，但人们对青少年医学、眼科、皮肤科、社会心理儿科学和骨科的培训数量和质量存在不满。最新获得认证者中继续医学教育模式的变化表明，期刊和专业协会需要评估如何能更好地满足加拿大儿科医生在这方面的需求。
