From the author: National trends in school health practice and training were assessed 10 years after the report of the 1978 American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force on Pediatric Education. A questionnaire was sent to 2,237 randomly selected AAP Fellows and was returned by 1,068 (48%). Seventy-seven percent of practicing pediatricians reported involvement in some type of school-based or school consultant activity. Those having residency training in school health and those practicing in rural areas were most likely to be involved. The most common types of activity were school-based pre-athletic exams (56%), consultant to special education placement (26%), and game/event physician (23%). Pediatricians were paid for 20% of sports-related school consultation and 25% of nonsports school health activities. Didactic or clinical training in school health was offered during residency to 19%. Specific didactic topics in school health included learning and attention deficit disorders (32%), physician role in health education (15%), and sports medicine (12%). Preathletic participation exams were the most commonly performed school health activity during residency (23%), followed by serving as a school consultant (11%), and attending an individual education plan meeting (7%). Most pediatricians engaged in school health activities. However, they did so without preparation during residency and without payment for their services.
