Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Behavioral Pediatrics

Background:

  • Child development and behavior management is vital in primary care pediatrics.
  • Many pediatricians lack sufficient training in developmental and behavioral pediatrics (DBP).
  • Current residency training in DBP is perceived as inadequate by many faculty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the perceived needs for improved resident education and faculty development in DBP.
  • To identify barriers to continuing education for pediatric faculty in DBP.
  • To propose recommendations for enhancing DBP training within academic pediatrics.

Main Methods:

  • A Web-based survey was distributed to general pediatric faculty.
  • Respondents reported on the quality and duration of current DBP residency training.

  • Barriers to faculty continuing education in DBP were investigated.

    • Main Results:

    • Only 4% of faculty rated DBP residency training as excellent; 64% felt too little time was allocated.
    • Lack of release time (67%) and funding (74%) were significant barriers to faculty continuing education.
    • Faculty overwhelmingly agreed that improved faculty skills would enhance resident training.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a clear need for enhanced faculty development in developmental and behavioral pediatrics.
    • Expanding DBP fellowship programs to include faculty development is recommended.
    • Making faculty development a routine expectation in academic pediatrics is crucial for improving training.
