Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Professional activity of fellows in French pediatric intensive care units. North American fellowship programs: a comparative study].
The study of fellows professional activity in French pediatric intensive care units monitors: their workload, their distribution between bedside care and academic activities, their scientific papers production and at knowing perceptual impact their workload had on their professional and personal lives. ⋯ The workload reported seemed to affect the patient bedside care and diminished the implication of the fellows of French pediatric intensive care unit for the research activity. An increase of medical staff, a protected time for research would contribute to balancing professional activity of these medical doctors and would maintain the objective of training good clinicians.
