Abstract:
:This study was designed to determine the general characteristics, training expectations, and career goals of those individuals entering Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowships in 1992 through the NRMP Pediatric Emergency Medicine Match. A 20-item questionnaire was developed and sent to those individuals who successfully obtained fellowship positions through the 1991-1992 Match. All of the respondents will have completed a formal pediatric residency program, and 90% will have completed their residency since 1990. Eighty-eight percent of the respondents have not completed formal postgraduate training other than a pediatric residency, and none of the respondents were from training programs in emergency medicine. Ninety percent of the respondents are planning on two years of training, while 10% are either entering a three-year program or planning an optional third year. Ninety-four percent of the individuals who responded had not applied for Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowships in the past, but, while many of the individuals were concerned about obtaining a position, only 6% applied for a fellowship in an alternative field. If the respondents had not obtained positions this year, 79% felt that they would have reapplied next year. When asked why they are pursuing a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship, 85% listed opportunities in clinical medicine as their primary reason, while 10% claimed that research opportunity was the most important factor. When their fellowships are completed, 77% hope to practice at a university-based children's hospital, and 10% hope to practice at a private children's hospital.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
