Dr. Wineberg's letter would have had a considerable degree of validity 10 to 15 years ago. However, times are indeed changing for various reasons. Outpatient departments in most teaching centers, which include large voluntary hospitals with residency training programs, have competent and well paid directors of pediatric outpatient services. Some recently appointed professors of pediatrics are products of the outpatient department: Haggerty, Morris Green, Olmstead.
A number of institutions have fellowship training in outpatient departments.
