J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc. 2017 Jun 1;6(2):116-117. doi: 10.1093/jpids/piw004.

Abstract

Wholesale revision of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Developmental Screening Test (PIDDST) was imperative, given the sea change that has occurred in academic medicine and subspecialty practice in the last two decades. The PIDDST 2.0 tracks expected milestones along the continuum from fellow to full professor in today's complex health care environment. Effective use of this instrument in training programs and pediatric departments could help shape the future of the field.
