“…One systematic review suggested that educational interventions, such as structured reading programs and a “boot camp” curriculum, were effective for improving the scores in in-training examinations in surgery [ 26 ]. Thus, the faculty may be able to provide this peer learning opportunity for trainees requiring special support by collaborating with potential leaders with experience of scholarly activity [ 27 ].…”

Background Examining the predictors of summative assessment performance is important for improving educational programs and structuring appropriate learning environments for trainees. However, predictors of certification examination performance in pediatric postgraduate education have not been comprehensively investigated in Japan. Methods The Pediatric Board Examination database in Japan, which includes 1578 postgraduate trainees from 2015 to 2016, was analyzed. The examinations included multiple-choice questions (MCQs), case summary reports, and an interview, and the predictors for each of these components were investigated by multiple regression analysis. Results The number of examination attempts and the training duration were significant negative predictors of the scores for the MCQ, case summary, and interview. Employment at a community hospital or private university hospital were negative predictors of the MCQ and case summary score, respectively. Female sex and the number of academic presentations positively predicted the case summary and interview scores. The number of research publications was a positive predictor of the MCQ score, and employment at a community hospital was a positive predictor of the case summary score. Conclusion This study found that delayed and repeated examination taking were negative predictors, while the scholarly activity of trainees was a positive predictor, of pediatric board certification examination performance.

“…To deal with this issue, a peer learning training system has been implemented in an anesthesiology residency in the United States (17) . Peer learning, in which trainees teach each other in small groups, provides trainees with a psychologically “safe” environment to learn and facilitate their deeper understanding of educational contents and reflections (18) . This teaching and learning methodology can create a mutual mentorship environment for both young and experienced researchers.…”

Introduction: Infrastructure and the capacity to conduct clinical research in pediatrics have not been fully established in Japan. To elucidate the physicians’ perspectives on clinical research, level of experience, existing barriers, and requests for support, we conducted a survey at 34 children’s hospitals in Japan. Methods: In January 2016, an online survey with 13 questions was sent to approximately 2000 physicians working in 34 pediatric hospitals belonging to the Japanese Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions. Results: Of the 360 respondents, 318 (88.3%) had presentations at academic conferences, and 261 (72.5%) had publications in academic journals, in the previous year. The most common study designs of clinical research conducted were case reports and case series. The most requested supports were for statistical analysis, followed by study design, grant application, and English-language editing. Younger physicians were more likely to prefer educational lectures ( p < 0.001), whereas experienced physicians were more likely to request support for conducting statistical analysis ( p = 0.002). Whereas physicians who had ever led a clinical trial requested support for the development of study protocol ( p = .013), those without this experience preferred support for literature review ( p = .002) and consultation services for study design ( p = .027). Conclusions: The requests for supports were different, depending on the physicians’ years after graduation and experience level in clinical research. In order to enhance clinical research in pediatrics, it is essential to provide appropriate types and levels of educational and support programs.
