  • Title: Part-time training in pediatric residency programs: principles and practices.
    Author: Gordon MB, McGuinness GA, Stanton BF, Brooks S, Chiang VW, Vinci R, Sectish TC.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 2008 Oct; 122(4):e938-44. PubMed ID: 18809596.
    Abstract:
    Despite growing interest in part-time work, few pediatricians are pursuing part-time residency training. There is currently little guidance for programs or residents who wish to design an alternative path through residency. In this article we review the need for part-time residencies and address obstacles to be overcome in their initiation. Strategies are offered for residents and program directors planning part-time training pathways, with recommendations for implementation amid a changing environment for graduate medical education. The needs of trainees, residency programs, hospitals, and credentialing organizations are considered.
