Pediatric residents' procedural competency requirements: a national needs assessment of program directors and chief residents.
Academic Pediatrics 2023 December 29
BACKGROUND: There is increased learner competition for a shrinking pool of procedural training opportunities and indications in pediatrics. This study aimed to describe pediatric residency program directors' (PDs) and chief residents' (CRs) perspectives about whether procedural requirements for pediatric residents should be reformed and individualized.
METHODS: This was a survey-based, mixed methods study of PDs and CRs affiliated with the Association of Pediatric Program Directors. We used descriptive statistics to analyze demographics and perspectives, logistic regressions to examine individual and program factors, and thematic analysis for qualitative data.
RESULTS: Forty-seven percent (95/203) of PDs and 16% (64/392) of CRs responded, representing APPD membership across program setting, size, and region (average standard mean deviation 0.28). Ninety-one percent of PD respondents considered one or more of the current Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education required procedures non-essential; 74% favored individualizing procedural training. CR responses mirrored PD responses. Program size, setting, and access to procedural teams did not significantly associate with likelihood to favor individualization.
CONCLUSION: The majority of PD and CR respondents believe that current ACGME procedures should be reformed and individualized to future career goals. This change could allow maximization of limited time in residency in this era of decreased opportunity.
