Objective: Infants born from overweight and obese mothers with glucose-controlled gestational diabetes (GDM) tend to be large-for-gestational age (LGA). It is hypothesized that this is due to an excessive rise in maternal triglyceride levels.

Background: Training of postgraduate medical specialty program managers (PMSPM) is essential for the proper development of their programs.
Aim: To identify the main training needs of PMSPM at a medical school.
Material And Methods: A mixed-methodology approach was implemented including focus group/interviews and the administration of the Program Managers Training Needs Assessment Questionnaire (PROMANAQ) developed by an expert panel with 59 items (with two sections: relevance/performance-self-perception).
