Since 1992, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) has shared workforce data about pediatric physicians with the larger medical community through the publication of an annual workforce data book. Over the years, this report has evolved to incorporate information across the entire span of a pediatrician’s career, from training and certification through Maintenance of Certification (MOC). While we affirm that high-quality pediatric care increasingly relies on teams of professionals with backgrounds in multiple disciplines and specialties, this report builds on the data available to the ABP about pediatric physicians. Tracking the pediatric physician workforce is essential for understanding its composition, numbers, distribution, and practice patterns, but the purpose of this report is not only to publish numbers. We believe this report provides valuable information to pediatricians, pediatric residency and subspecialty training program directors, hospital administrators, policy makers, researchers, and others interested in ensuring that we have the skilled workforce necessary to meet the health care needs of children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. With this edition of the workforce data book, we have made numerous changes to the content of the information provided for two primary reasons: 1) The ABP is in the process of developing online, interactive displays to allow user-driven access to similar data found in this book, and 2) census survey information found in previous versions of this book have been removed to be placed in a second report, which will focus specifically on data collected from those surveys. We welcome your feedback as we seek to continually improve our processes. Last, the scope and depth of the current ABP Pediatric Physicians Workforce Data Book, 2017-2018, would not be possible without the information provided by trainees, program directors, and diplomates. We thank each of you for your commitment to ensuring that every child, adolescent, and young adult, no matter what their background or where they live, has access to quality pediatric care. Sincerely, David G. Nichols, MD, MBA President & CEO American Board of Pediatrics Laurel K. Leslie, MD, MPH Vice President, Research American Board of Pediatrics Pediatric Physicians Workforce Data Book, 2017-2018. 4 Acknowledgements The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) would like to first express its sincere gratitude to the many program directors, residents, fellows, and practicing pediatricians without whom this workforce book would not be possible.
