The Pediatrician as a Role Model in the Career Choice of Medical Students

JAMES E. STRAIN MD1

1 Executive Director, American Academy of Pediatrics, Elk Grove Village, IL

The results of the recent residency matching program revealed a decline in the number of US medical school graduates applying for positions in pediatric training programs. In 1987, 1366 graduating seniors, 10% of the graduating class, applied for 2009 PL 1 positions. In 1989, 1256, 9.3% of those graduating, applied for 2068 positions. Sixty-eight percent of PL 1 positions were filled by graduates of US medical schools in 1987, and an additional 14% (284) by foreign medical graduates.
