title: Career counseling practices in pediatric residency training programs.
abstract: Although there has been an emphasis on career satisfaction in pediatrics and on motivators that impact on resident career selection, little attention has been directed toward the career development process in pediatric residency training. This report summarizes the results of a survey conducted of 155 pediatric residency program directors about their counseling practices. Implications of the results and recommendations are discussed to improve this process.
