Abstract
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.
