Abstract

Our pediatric professional organizations have recognized the importance of training residents in community pediatrics. This study is the first to describe resident community knowledge and to demonstrate that this knowledge is generally poor, with specific gaps in the content areas of schools, daycares, and health care access. There are differences in areas of knowledge between those working in hospital versus community clinics, suggesting this is an area for further investigation.
