In this issue, Honigfeld et al1 discuss manpower strategies adopted by nine hospitals that either discontinued or significantly reduced their pediatric residency programs. Several of the hospitals surveyed had a significant pediatric inpatient population and two thirds had a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The loss of resident positions represented a major manpower crisis for these institutions. The 16 hospitals that originally met the study guidelines in 1986 to 1987 represent only a small fraction of the existing 234 accredited training programs.
