Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to identify the attributes of good clinical teachers in pediatrics (CTPs) in Japan and to clarify pediatricians and pediatric trainees’ perceptions of these attributes. Methods The attributes of good CTPs were identified qualitatively by conducting thematic analysis of questionnaires answered by board‐certified pediatricians and pediatric trainees. The attributes obtained were rated quantitatively by a large number of participants in both groups. Results Forty‐eight individual attributes of good CTPs, which were classified into three domains, namely, personal, pediatrician, and teacher domains, were identified. The three domains and most of the attributes were consistent with previous studies. However, a few additional attributes, including “is kind/thoughtful toward others” and “defends trainees”, which may be unique for pediatricians in Japan, were identified. Significant differences in the pediatricians’ and trainees’ perceptions of these attributes were elucidated: The differences were most noticeable for teacher attributes and least for personal attributes. Conclusion Although most of the identified attributes of good CTPs in our study appear to be universal, there were significant differences in the pediatricians’ and trainees’ perceptions of good CTPs, especially in relation to teacher attributes. Our study provides additional bases for good CTPs and future faculty development for enhanced pediatric clinical education.Keywords
