“…Patient safety incidents, including near‐miss events, can have a “second victim” impact on clinicians, with potential consequences for their mental and physical well‐being 1 . Near‐miss events, for example hypoxemia due to laryngospasm or profound bradycardia during an inhalational induction, may occur more frequently with children, and thus pediatric anesthesiology residents may be particularly vulnerable 2 . The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of pediatric near‐miss perioperative events on residents and to quantify resident preferences for support options to guide future research and creation of a wellness program.…”

“…The job of mentors would be to lead by example, conduct educational sessions during conferences, award prizes for presentations by trainees (Kop's award), dissertation topics for PG students related to children and thus inspire young anaesthetists to embrace this speciality and help carry forwards the legacy of paediatric anaesthesia.

Paediatric anaesthesia is an upcoming speciality which is gaining wide interest and can be a career choice for the new trainees. The need to develop paediatric anaesthesia as a speciality was realised with the progress in the field of paediatric surgery. The profile of the 'patient' encountered by a paediatric anaesthesiologist spans from an extremely premature neonate on the fringes of survival, to a full-grown adolescent equivalent to an adult. Perioperative morbidity and mortality are 2-3 times higher in infants and neonates compared to adults particularly in middle and low-income countries. The anatomical, physiological, pharmacological variations and presence of congenital cardiac, pulmonary and metabolic diseases in young children make perioperative management challenging. Special expertise and training are required for anaesthetic management of these preverbal children. In India, 3-years DM and 1-year Fellowship courses in paediatric anaesthesia are now available for specialisation. An ideal paediatric anaesthesia training centre should have substantial paediatric and neonatal patient load with exclusive intensive care facility. Paediatric anaesthesiologists, having knowledge of several facets of paediatrics and anaesthesia are capable of coordinating with health care professionals performing procedures outside the operating room. Paediatric anaesthesia, as a career thus offers a great opportunity to enhance quality and safety of anaesthesia in this high-risk surgical population. Persistent coordinated team efforts improve patient outcomes, reduce stress at work and increase job satisfaction.

“…An early introduction into the academic community may provide further opportunities for external mentorship and sponsorship, which are critical for the career development of junior faculty. 8,10,17 Similar to junior faculty, fellows often have a significant clinical burden and few professional development opportunities. Offering professional development during fellowship training may be an ideal time to initiate this academic engagement and foster a career in academic medicine.…”

“…For this concept to work, faculty mentorship is critical to support interested fellows by assisting them with academic skills such as developing areas of expertise and honing presentation skills. 10,17,19 To help both junior faculty and fellows jumpstart their academic careers in pediatric anesthesia we created a professional development program called Visiting Scholars in Pediatric Anesthesia Program (ViSiPAP).…”

Background: Junior faculty in academic medicine often struggle with establishing their careers, resulting in low promotion and high attrition rates. Fellows also grapple with the decision to pursue careers in academic medicine. We report on the implementation and evaluation of a novel faculty and fellows exchange program that promotes career development. Methods:In 2017, the University of California San Francisco created a reciprocal faculty exchange program called the Visiting Scholars in Pediatric Anesthesia Program (ViSiPAP). ViSiPAP expanded to involve 17 institutions across the United States. Fellows from 3 of the institutions were paired with faculty mentors to create Fellow/Faculty ViSiPAP. An initial postparticipation survey was sent after each exchange, and a follow-up survey in 2020 assessed ViSiPAP's impact.Results: Fifty-three faculty participated in ViSiPAP and gave 66 presentations, and 20 fellows from 3 institutions gave 20 presentations. The initial postparticipation survey response rate was 88%, and the follow-up survey response rate was 74%. Survey responses indicated that ViSiPAP enhanced fellow and faculty well-being, improved didactic conferences, and provided opportunities for networking and collaborating. The follow-up survey indicated that participation in ViSiPAP led to 45 online academic publications, 39 additional invited presentations, and 8 authorships in peer-reviewed academic journals. Conclusions:ViSiPAP is a successful professional development program for both fellows and junior faculty in pediatric anesthesia. Our program successfully introduced the participants into the pediatric anesthesia community and jumpstarted academic careers. Participation in ViSiPAP led to increased scholarly output and assisted with faculty promotion. This combined fellow/faculty exchange program is a novel approach to professional development and is broadly applicable to other disciplines in academic medicine.
