exchange program on the east coast. The University
of Miami, the University of Florida and the Medical
University of South Carolina are currently establishing
another ViSiPAP regional exchange program in the
Southeast.
I strongly believe that program's growth indicates how
valuable it has become for pediatric anesthesia both at
UCSF and beyond. ViSiPAP and the weekly fellow's
conference significantly have significantly increased the
academic activity and the level of didactics in our own
pediatric anesthesia division. More importantly, the
ViSiPAP exchanges have helped to establish a pediatric
anesthesia community among the faculty and fellows in
the participating institutions.
Pediatric anesthesia faculty participants in ViSiPAP
viewed the experience as enjoyable and
valuable and felt that it contributed positively to their
academic development and well-being. Many felt
that ViSiPAP was an excellent venue for networking
and finding colleagues and mentors with similar
interests and that ViSiPAP helped to "jumpstart" their
academic careers by providing national recognition and
additional speaking opportunities . Comments from
post-participation surveys include:
"This program is an incredible opportunity for young
faculty to develop important skills necessary to succeed
in academic medicine. I was able to practice my public
speaking skills, meet people in the field, learn about
practices at other institutions, and collaborate with
others that have similar interest."

"This is what I think young faculty need to develop their
skills - the opportunity to network and to collaborate
with others outside of their own institution."
"Although I've presented at national meetings, 'national
recognition' was a gaping hole in my resume when
compared to other parts of it. This has helped jumpstart
this part of my career and has given me the confidence I
needed to move forward."
"ViSiPAP is a fantastic springboard for presenting to an
audience outside of one's home institution but in a non
threatening setting. Thank you for the opportunity."
"The ViSiPAP speaker exchange program has opened
so many doors for me. As a junior faculty member, you
are often told that you need to build a "regional and
national reputation" in order to be promoted and are
unsure of where to start. Giving these talks has allowed
me to build confidence in public speaking and has given
me additional speaking opportunities."
In summary, the leaders in academic pediatric
anesthesiology should work to support faculty and
fellow well-being and career development and create
a pediatric anesthesia community. The ViSiPAP
faculty and fellow exchange program can help achieve
these goals. ViSiPAP exchange programs are simple
to organize, relatively inexpensive and time-efficient.
They can be developed by other subspecialties in
anesthesiology and other academic departments.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions
or comments.

"I honestly believe that the best part of the whole
experience was meeting people and sharing ideas. We all
struggle with how to improve processes, but the chance to
meet leaders in other institutions was invaluable."
