Assessing the Current Landscape of Educational Workload Among Pediatric Dermatologists Involved in Teaching Primary Care Residents

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.
