Questionnaires sent to and returned from 176 pediatricians practicing in the Southwest (mostly Texas) indicated that if their residency training had emphasized certain phases of medicine, they feel that they would have been better practitioners of pediatrics. There were 501 suggestions made, 85% of which were in the following fields of interest: Allergy, Psychiatric Aspects of Behavior Problems, Developmental Diagnosis, Electrocardiography, Roentgenology, Bacteriology-Virology and Therapeutics. There was little difference expressed in the listings in relation to the years spent in practice.
