“…Residents in these countries have comparable working hours per week; however, the calculation does not include nightshifts. 2 The number of night shifts usually depends on the hospital that residents works in. The average number of hours per week per night shift and the number of night shifts per month performed by residents in pediatrics in the 8 countries studied, and whether they benefit of resting time after the night shifts, are shown in Figure 1 (available at www.jpeds.…”

“…ebating the activities of the European Young Paediatricians Association 1 (EURYPA) and the issue of diversity of pediatric residency programs across Europe, we discussed the diversity in admission procedures, duration, and pediatric training curricula of residency courses in Europe. 2 We now discuss the issues of quality assurance of training, night shifts, and wages, which are of great importance for pediatric residents in Europe.…”

“…There are profound diversities among postgraduate paediatric programmes attributable to a multiplicity of factors including history, traditions, model of paediatric care, cultural aspects and economic issues. 7 Curriculum content varies depending on whether primary care general physicians, primary care paediatricians or combinations of both are primarily responsible for child health. The duration of postgraduate training in general paediatrics varies from 2 to 8 years together with varying assessment procedures.…”

“…While several country-specific determinants play a role in this phenomenon, the time to the first research training exposure is expected to be a key determinant of the career trajectory of pediatric trainees who may potentially be interested in pursuing a research career. In Europe, pediatric clinical and research training are still largely heterogeneous [ 5 ]. Time to first applications for early career investigator European research grants is generally after the completion of the medical training (residency/fellowship) and the PhD, with medical scientist applicants for their first starting grant being older than 35 years of age [ 6 ].…”

Less than 2% of physicians complete a research training (PhD) after the residency with a declining trend in those pursuing a clinical scientist pathway in pediatrics. The exposure to research methodology during the clinical training may play a role in engaging the next generations of pediatric physician scientist. Herein, we describe the experience of the Padova Physician Scientist Research Training (PPSRT) of the pediatric residency program at the University of Padova. The PPSRT was addressed to residents attending PGY2 to PGY4 of the pediatric program and consisted of two cores: a general one including in person or virtual lectures about research methodology in pediatrics including design of a clinical trial, writing of a scientific paper and statistical methods, and a subspecialties core for the discussion of research challenges in each area and the scientific writing activities. The perceived barriers to a research training and an evaluation of the program were assessed by an anonymized questionnaire. Sixty-four out 150 residents registered for the research training with 62/64 completing the two cores. The major perceived barrier to research during clinical training was the absence of protected time (89%) followed by the lack of specific funds (37%). The group activities lead to the publication of 24 papers. Conclusion: This is the first experience in the Italian pediatric training of a dedicated research program within the frame of postgraduate medical education. Our report highlights the need for protected time to promote research interest and nurture a new generation of physician scientists. What is Known:• Training to medical research is not part of residency program.• The declining trend of physician scientists might be reverted by early exposure to research methodology and challenges during residency. What is New:• An early exposure to research training during pediatric residency increases the research engagement of pediatric residents.• The lack of protected time for research is perceived as the major barrier to research training during residency.
