Objectives: Pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) is more than a quarter of a century old; yet, very little is known about the career longevity of its practitioners. The purpose of our survey was to examine different aspects of career longevity in the clinical practice of PEM.
Methods: An electronic survey was mailed in November 2008 to all members of the section on pediatric emergency medicine at the American Academy of Pediatrics who were older than 50 years.
