We examined how expectations for chief resident proficiency in pediatric cases compare to the reality of resident performance from the perspective of pediatrics urologists and residency Program Directors (PDs). METHODS: A survey was sent to Societies of Pediatric Urology members via email. Baseline demographic characteristics were collected. The Zwisch Scale was used to guide judgment of expectations for performance. Data regarding PD expectations for residents were taken from a separate survey (n=47), also using this scale. Responses were collected anonymously and stored in REDCap. Data analysis was performed with chi-square analysis. RESULTS: The survey was sent to 201 pediatric urologists and 65 responses were received (32%). Most reported that residents have dedicated pediatrics rotations 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This survey suggests that there is a gap between expectations - from both pediatric urologists and PDs - and reality for resident proficiency in pediatric urology cases. One possible reason is that pediatric urologists reported working primarily with junior residents, with less opportunity to train them to proficiency that matches expectations later in residency. These gaps emphasize the need for more targeted training, feedback, and support to bridge the divide between what is expected and what residents can actually perform.
