To enable young physicians to complete their pediatric training, the American Academy of Pediatrics will grant fellowships of $500 to $1,000 each to pediatric interns and residents for the year beginning July 1, 1973. Candidates must meet the following requirements: (1) legal resident of the United States or Canada; (2) have completed, or will have cornpleted by July 1, one year of straight pediatric internship, or one year of mixed internship, providing more than 50% of this time is spent in pediatric training, and have made a definite commitment for a first year pediatric residency acceptable to the American Board of Pediatrics; (3) first year residents in a training program who have a definite commitment for a second year, both programs acceptable to the American Board of Pediatrics; (4) have real need of financial assistance; and (5) support their applications with a letter from the Chief of Service substantiating the requirements mentioned above. The fellowships have been provided through grants to the Academy by Mead Johnson Laboratories, Gerber Products Company, and Fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Although the fellowship awards are primarily intended for the support of first and second year pediatric residents, it is also recognized that some may desire a third or fourth year of residency. Up to 25% of the fellowships may be awarded to persons in this category. Consideration will be given to geographic spread of appointments so that all sections of the country will be represented, and preference will be exhibited for well qualified but smaller training centers which perhaps have fewer resources for residents in training than do some of the larger centers.

To the Editor.— I am a member of the Committee on Women in Pediatrics of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The Committee recently studied the availability of flexible training and retraining programs in pediatric residency programs in the United States. We sent a questionnaire to the directors of the 292 pediatric training programs listed in the Directory of Residency Training Programs. At present, 200 of the 292 (68.5%) have a flexible training program. However, only two of these programs have this as a written policy; one such program was developed in 1973 and, in practice, this program was individually designed.

Medical Examiners

AT THE first meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1931, a committee was established to explore the possibility of Board certification. After consultation with representatives of the national societies then in existence, the American Board of Pediatrics was incorporated in 1933. The purpose was to certify a man as a specialist in the practice of pediatrics and an early decision was that the qualifications should be set up by the men practicing in the field. It is of interest that other suggestions such as separate state qualifying boards, certification by the National Board of Medical Examiners, or certification by a board run by the medical schools were all rejected. The decision was made that the Board be formed by appointment of three men by each of the prominent pediatric groups of the time, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Section on Pediatrics of the American Medical Association, and the American Pediatric Society. Once appointed, the Board members would not be responsible to the appointing societies. After discussion by the three societies, the Board was formed. Dr. Borden Veeder, to whom I am indebted for some of this background, was the first president, Dr. Henry Helmholz, vice president, and Dr. C. Anderson Aldrich, secretary. Because of the need for more help in the actual examinations, the Board appointed additional interested pediatricians as official examiners. In general, succeeding appointments to the Board were made from this latter group. In 1960, the charter and by-laws were modified to spell out the method of appointment so that at present the term of appointment is six years. After the lapse of one year a man may be appointed for one more term.

Data have been reported recently indicating that complications following smallpox vaccination occur more frequently in children less than 1 year old than in any other age group. A review of illnesses attributed to smallpox vaccination in England and Wales from 1951 to 1960 demonstrated that dermal complications, particularly generalized vaccinia, occurred two to three times as frequently in children vaccinated before the first birthday as in any other childhood age group.1,2 A review of smallpox vaccination complications in the United States in 1963 yielded similar results.3,4 As a result, the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on the Control of Infectious Diseases and the Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices have recommended that primary smallpox vaccination be deferred until after the first birthday.5,6 Despite this, many physicians have expressed reluctance to adopt this recommendation as was most evident by the general comments made at the recent panel on immunization at the meetings of the American Academy of Pediatrics in October 1967 and by letter to members of the Smallpox Eradication Program at the National Communicable Disease Center. The purpose of this paper is to review briefly the arguments for and against routine smallpox vaccination in children under 1 year of age. The principal objections to deferring vaccination until after the first birthday are as follows: 1. If vaccination is not routinely practiced during the first several well-baby clinic visits, many children, particularly those from clinics in the large cities. might not return for subsequent clinic visits and therefore might not have the benefit of a smallpox vaccination.

Clinical Confidence

Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that pediatricians promote and help manage breastfeeding. However, research has shown that they are not adequately prepared. To address this gap, a 2-week mandatory lactation rotation program was developed for first-year pediatric residents. Research aim: The aim of the study was to provide a lactation education program and to measure the residents’ knowledge and perceived confidence regarding breastfeeding. Methods: This longitudinal self-report pretest/posttest study was conducted with a convenience sample of 45 first-year pediatric residents. Each resident spent a minimum of 50 hours with an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. To measure breastfeeding knowledge and clinical confidence, the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Breastfeeding Residency Curriculum pretest was used 4 times: first and last day of the rotation and at 6 and 12 months postrotation. Results: Test and confidence scores were evaluated. Statistically significant differences in knowledge were found between test 1 when compared with tests 2, 3, and 4 ( p < .001). No significant differences were found between tests 2, 3, and 4 ( p > .05). The abilities to “adequately address parents’ questions” and to “completely manage common problems” were significant, with confidence increasing in tests 2, 3, and 4 ( p < .001). Conclusion: As a result of an innovative, comprehensive educational lactation program, the pediatric residents’ knowledge and perceived confidence related to breastfeeding significantly increased.
