Pediatric Workforce: A Look at Pediatric Pulmonology Data from the American Board of Pediatrics

This report, which is part of a series discussing workforce trends for general pediatrics and related subspecialty areas, highlights the American Board of Pediatrics’ (ABP) workforce data for pediatric pulmonology. Readers are encouraged to read the initial report¹ in the series because it provides information about general pediatrics and summary information about other ABP subspecialties. In 1986, pediatric pulmonology became the sixth ABP subboard to offer a certification examination, with the first examination yielding 158 board-certified pediatric pulmonologists.
