The Pediatric Residency

Abram Kanof M.D.1

1 Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y.

While in the art gallery one may stoutly insist that he knows what he likes, it appears from the article of Deisher et al. (Pediatrics, 25:711, 1960) that in the practice of pediatrics one likes what he knows. I do not agree, however, that the fault is in the medical school training; rather, it lies in the inadequacies of the pediatric residency program.

What happens to the enthusiastic senior choosing pediatrics as his field, to change him after 10 years of practice into a physician nagging about the really petty complaints in Table V of Deisher's article?
