摘要

目的:美国神经外科医师协会(AANS)和美国神经外科医师大会(CNS)小儿神经外科分会设立了国内巡回奖学金,用于支付北美神经外科住院医师在其他机构学习一个月的旅费和生活费,以获得小儿神经外科方面的经验。方法:AANS/CNS 执行委员会和旅行奖学金小组委员会的前任和现任主席保存了历史数据。通过电子邮件向所有以往的研究金获得者发送了一份包含 10 个问题的 REDCap 调查问卷:结果:自 1998 年以来,共有 58 位旅行奖学金获得者。最常见的主办项目是波士顿儿童医院(21 人),其次是病童医院(12 人)。剔除2017年后可能仍在努力争取认证的近期获得者,38名获得者中有20人(53%)已获得美国小儿神经外科委员会(ABPNS)的认证。49 位受助者中有 24 位(49%)完成了调查。20名(83.3%)受访者已获得 ABPNS 认证或计划申请认证,17 名(70.8%)受访者的诊疗项目中,年龄小于 21 岁的患者占 50%以上,18 名(75%)受访者在主办项目中工作了 4-8 周,超过了津贴资助的 1 个月时间。22名受访者(91.7%)会向对小儿神经外科感兴趣的住院医师推荐巡回研究金,18名受访者(75%)认为巡回研究金帮助他们决定从事小儿神经外科事业,17名受访者(70.8%)认为他们建立的专业联系是研究金最有用的方面。15位受访者(62.5%)认为2500美元的津贴不足以支付旅费和住宿费用:大多数受访者目前都是执业小儿神经外科医生,他们会向对神经外科感兴趣的住院医师推荐巡回奖学金,并认为这次经历有助于他们决定从事小儿神经外科工作。需要改进的地方包括增加津贴,以便更合理地资助大部分时间超过 1 个月的轮转。

The AANS/CNS Section on Pediatric Neurological Surgery domestic traveling fellowship: history and survey results of past recipients.

Objective: The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Section on Pediatric Neurological Surgery domestic traveling fellowship was created to cover the travel and living expenses for a North American neurosurgery resident for 1 month at another institution to gain experience in pediatric neurosurgery. The objective of this work was to guide future direction by surveying past recipients about the fellowship and its impact on their training and career.

Methods: Historical data have been maintained by the AANS/CNS Executive Committee and past and current chairs of the Traveling Fellowship Subcommittee. A 10-question REDCap survey was emailed to all previous fellowship recipients.

Results: There have been 58 recipients of the traveling fellowship since 1998. The most common host program was Boston Children's Hospital (n = 21), followed by The Hospital for Sick Children (n = 12). Excluding recent recipients after 2017 who may still be working toward certification, 20 of 38 (53%) recipients have been certified by the American Board of Pediatric Neurological Surgery (ABPNS). Twenty-four of 49 (49%) recipients completed the survey. Twenty (83.3%) respondents were either ABPNS certified or planning to seek certification, 17 (70.8%) respondents' practices consisted of > 50% patients aged ≤ 21 years, and 18 (75%) spent 4-8 weeks at the host program, which was longer than the 1 month funded by the stipend. Twenty-two (91.7%) respondents would recommend the traveling fellowship to a resident interested in pediatric neurosurgery, and 18 (75%) believed the traveling fellowship helped them decide to pursue a career in pediatric neurosurgery, while 17 (70.8%) found that the professional connections they made were the most useful aspect of the fellowship. Fifteen (62.5%) respondents believed that the stipend of $2500 was inadequate to cover the cost of traveling and housing.

Conclusions: The majority of respondents are currently practicing pediatric neurosurgeons, would recommend the traveling fellowship to residents interested in neurosurgery, and believed that the experience helped them decide to pursue a career in pediatric neurosurgery. Opportunities for improvement include increasing the stipend to more appropriately fund rotations that have mostly been longer than 1 month.
