Employment Opportunities for Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship Trained Physicians in the United States
Abstract
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) training programs and trained fellows in the United State increased steadily without a corresponding increase in population growth. PCCM trainees worry about limited employment prospects. This study aimed to quantify the demand for PCCM trained physicians in the United States by prospectively tracking full-time employment opportunities over 12 months. The number of advertised opportunities identified was low compared with number of fellows likely to be seeking jobs during same time period. If market demand remains stable, there is risk of excess supply if number of newly fellowship-trained PCCM physicians continues to rise.
