  • Summary

    Abortion training is a required component of US ob-gyn graduate medical education training and recommended in family medicine training. While individual residents may choose to opt out of training in certain conditions – namely personal or religious conflicts- this chapter describes the importance of facilitating participation of residents up to their comfort level in order to learn the essential and transferable skills in the provision of women’s health care.   This chapter describes the history of partial participation and provides evidence from multiple studies which have found that learners who object to abortion but partially participate in training in family planning and abortion gain important clinical and professional skills and appreciate the training. It describes various protocols and guidance for teaching leadership to support partial participation, specifics on setting clear expectations, and suggestions for when to facilitate discussions for residents who aren’t certain about the participation level, or plan to opt out.

  • Background:

    In 2013, a task force was developed to discuss the future of the Canadian pediatric neurology workforce. The consensus was that there was no indication to reduce the number of training positions, but that the issue required continued surveillance. The current study provides a 5-year update on Canadian pediatric neurology workforce data.

    Methods:

    Names, practice types, number of weekly outpatient clinics, and dates of certification of all physicians currently practicing pediatric neurology in Canada were obtained. International data were used to compute comparisons between countries. National data sets were used to provide information about the number of residency positions available and the number of Canadian graduates per year. Models for future projections were developed based on published projected population data and trends from the past decade.

    Results:

    The number of pediatric neurologists practicing in Canada has increased 165% since 1994. During this period, wait times have not significantly shortened. There are regional discrepancies in access to child neurologists. The Canadian pediatric neurology workforce available to see outpatient consultations is proportionally less than that of USA. After accounting for retirements and emigrations, the number of child neurologists being added to the workforce each year is 4.9. This will result in an expected 10-year increase in Canadian pediatric neurologists from 151 to 200.

    Conclusions:

    Despite an increase in the number of Canadian child neurologists over the last two decades, we do not predict that there will be problems with underemployment over the next decade.
