Objectives: Pediatric gastroenterologists are expected to acquire skills as clinicians, researchers, and educators during their fellowship training. An e-mail survey was conducted in 2010 to determine how well training experiences prepared graduates for their roles as attending physicians. Methods: A follow-up survey was e-mailed to the 50 pediatric gastroenterologists who had responded to a previous survey conducted in 2006 ( JPGN 47:327-22, 2008). Results: Surveys were completed by 35 physicians. Of these, 24 (68.5%) spend at least 75% of their time in the clinical arena. Only 9 of 35 respondents (26%) spend > 25% of their time conducting clinical and/or basic science research. Eighteen respondents (51%) are not currently involved in any type of research activity. Using Fisher’s Exact Test, there was no association between the amount of time spent conducting research as a fellow and the amount of time devoted to research as an attending physician (p = 0.28). Conclusion: Despite pediatric gastroenterology fellowship programs requiring trainees to devote a substantial amount of time to research activities, only a relatively small percentage of graduates pursue careers as researchers. The survey did not ask whether this resulted from personal preference, funding limitations, or job restrictions. The current pediatric gastroenterology training guidelines recommend allowing fellows to structure their training experiences in ways that will prove most beneficial to their future careers. A question for further study is whether the mismatch in time allocation for research suggests over-emphasis on research in fellowship, or under-emphasis on research in academic practice. *Correspondence to: Cary Qualia, Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Department of Pediatrics, Albany Medical Center, 43 New Scotland Avenue, MC-88, Albany, NY, USA, Tel: 518-262-8831; E-mail: qualiac@mail.amc.edu
