Pediatric Surgery Workforce Around the World: A Need to Revise Residency Programs?
Objectives:The study aimed to address the shortage of pediatric surgery specialists globally by investigating the discrepancies in training programs and population metrics across different countries and regions. Methods: An international survey of pediatric surgeons gathered data on training duration, examination procedures, certification, and population metrics like mortality rate and surgeon-to-population ratio. Results: The study included 44 countries. The average length of pediatric surgery training was 5.7 years, with no significant difference between different regions. The pediatric mortality rate and surgeons count per 100 000 people were inversely correlated, while training duration was associated with GDP and life expectancy, but not pediatric mortality rate or surgeons' count. Conclusion: Many countries' pediatric surgery training programs do not align with their actual need for pediatric surgeons. Nations with limited economic resources may opt to shorten residency programs or offer pediatric surgery as a direct specialty after medical school to mitigate the shortage effectively.
