    Pediatricians find formal developmental pediatrics training inadequate, valuing clinical experience but not as a substitute for education. They prefer ongoing, interdisciplinary training for improved knowledge acquisition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Medical Education
    • Developmental Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Pediatricians often encounter developmental issues in practice.
    • Current training in developmental pediatrics may not adequately prepare them.
    • Sources of ongoing knowledge acquisition are crucial for pediatricians.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore pediatricians' attitudes toward their previous training in developmental pediatrics.
    • To identify current sources of knowledge in developmental pediatrics.
    • To assess the adequacy of existing training and identify needs for improvement.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of 97 board-certified pediatricians across five New England states.
    • Interviews conducted by two physicians to gather data on training and knowledge sources.

  • Analysis of attitudes toward formal training, residency, medical school, and clinical experience.

    • Main Results:

    • 79% of pediatricians rated formal developmental pediatrics training as inadequate.
    • Only 30% viewed residency experience as highly valuable; 47% found medical school valueless.
    • 99% found clinical experience valuable, but two-thirds did not see it as a substitute for formal training.
    • Interdisciplinary communication and professional contacts were highly valued ongoing knowledge sources.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant deficiencies exist in current developmental pediatrics training.
    • Clinical experience is crucial but insufficient without adequate formal education.
    • There is a strong preference (97%) for part-time, longitudinal clinical experience for further education.
    • Improved training with enhanced interdisciplinary content is essential for pediatricians.
