Pediatric Pulmonology Education In Italian Residency Programs

Pediatric respiratory diseases are common and one of the main reasons for pediatric consultation. However, education on this subject is not equally provided in Italian Pediatric residency programs, although a national training syllabus to become a subspecialist pediatrician has been recently released. To investigate the current pediatric pulmonology education, the Italian Pediatric Respiratory Society (SIMRI) Junior Members Forum and the Italian National Observatory for Trainees and Young Paediatricians (ONSP), as young members of the Italian Society of Pediatrics, decided to administer a survey to the Italian pediatric resident network.
