Abstract
Many pediatric dermatologists train pediatric residents to diagnose and manage common skin conditions. Our study assesses the educational burden and workload pediatric dermatologists face in training pediatric residents (N = 65). Although most pediatric dermatologists (68.2%) agree that their efforts are valued by their department and consider the teaching important (93%), only 12.7% feel they are fairly compensated for this, and 27% attribute teaching pediatric residents to burnout. Our study highlights the need for systemic changes to support teaching efforts through compensation, protected time, or alternative educational models.
