Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Surgical practice
  • Workforce analysis

Background:

  • Demographics and practice patterns of pediatric surgeons are not well-documented.
  • Understanding surgeon lifestyle is crucial for workforce planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey members of the Canadian Association of Paediatric Surgeons (CAPS) regarding demographics, practice, and future plans.
  • To identify factors influencing pediatric surgeons' work hours and career intentions.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was mailed to 86 members of the Canadian Association of Paediatric Surgeons (CAPS).
  • 60 questionnaires were returned, representing a 70% response rate.

Main Results:

  • 85% of respondents were male, 15% female. 16% of surgeons with children reduced work hours for family life, with younger surgeons and women more likely to do so.

  • Most surgeons practice in academic (64%) or mixed (25%) settings, dedicating 69% of time to patient care, 10% to teaching, 10% to research, and 9% to administration.
  • Surgeons work an average of 57 hours/week and 45 weeks/year. Age, practice location, and spouse's employment significantly influenced work hours. 30% desire reduced activity, 15% plan retirement.

    • Conclusions:

    • Lifestyle and family commitments significantly impact pediatric surgeons' professional activity.
    • Workforce planning must consider personal factors affecting pediatric surgeons' availability and career trajectory.
