Pediatrics Specialty Choice Among Matriculants of MD-Granting US Medical Schools
In this cohort study, pediatrics specialty choice at graduation decreased among more recent matriculant cohorts. We identified variables independently associated with pediatrics specialty choice at graduation, which can inform efforts before and during medical school to promote or sustain pediatrics specialty choice among US MD-granting school matriculants.
