Abstract:
Facing the opportunities and challenges of pediatric education in the situation of talent emergency, this article aims to present the history of pediatric education development, offer considerations in pediatric talent cultivation from the perspective of the government, society/industry, and school in current social contexts, and provide ideas about seeking a path that can not only address the talent dilemma but also nurture pediatric talents in accordance with educational attributes. Strategies for the development of pediatric education should be guided by values and highlight child development as a priority; macro-regulate the number of enrollments based on the demand for pediatric care; and improve teaching curricula according to the development direction of the discipline. We hope to provide theoretical support for the future development of pediatric education as well as the cultivation of pediatric talents and high-quality development of child health in China.
