Abstract
Pediatric Surgery studies in Spanish universities are not regulated, and their situation varies significantly from one region to another. A descriptive study by means of a survey directly addressed to the heads of the 47 Spanish healthcare units was carried out. Only 33 pediatric surgeons currently teach at the university level. Most of them are employed (associate professors) and assigned to non-surgical departments. The degree of teaching accreditation of these professionals is meager. It is necessary to reflect deeply on the absence of our specialty in universities and, conversely, on the scarce presence of university studies and research in healthcare units.
