Rheumatology education in US pediatric residency programs: results of a comprehensive program director survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose Rheumatology is one of the smallest subspecialties in the field of pediatrics. Due to the deficiency of pediatric rheumatologists in the U.S., there is a shortage of educators. Previous research showed that 40% of pediatric residency programs have no pediatric rheumatologist on faculty. Although previous studies described the availability of rheumatology training in pediatric residency programs, little is known about the educational content or methods. To develop useful educational curricula for residency program use, rheumatology educators need to understand how pediatric residents are currently taught about rheumatology as well as residency programs’ perceived educational needs and barriers.
