| Abstract: | This is a proposal from the Cecil G. Sheps Center (Sheps Center) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate the workforce needs in pediatric surgery. The Sheps Center will refine and update its medical workforce model to specifically include pediatric populations and the range of pediatric surgical procedures to generate prediction of the numbers of pediatric surgeons and pediatric surgery subspecialties likely to be in practice through the year 2030, the estimated need for these surgeons, and comparisons to other surgical specialties whose operative work overlaps that of pediatric surgeons (e.g., general surgery). The project will project and describe the pathways of surgeons into and out of pediatric specialty training using data from the Advisory Commission on Graduate Medical Education. |
