背景过敏和临床免疫学 (A/I) 的教育和培训的特点是世界范围内差异很大。然而，缺乏关于这一主题的客观和全球数据。 方法 为了调查从事 A/I 领域的青少年的个人信息、教育程度和参与科学协会的情况，由欧洲过敏和临床免疫学学会 (EAACI)、美国过敏、哮喘和免疫学学会 (AAAAI) 和世界过敏组织 (WAO) 的 JM 委员会代表制定了一份调查问卷。 结果 总共收集了来自全球 76 个地区的 543 份调查问卷。各大洲。受访者的地理分布如下：非洲-中东 3.0%、亚太地区 21.4%、欧洲 48.2%、拉丁美洲 12.1% 和北美 15.3%。 59.0% 的受访者表示 A/I 在他们的国家被认为是一个独立的专业，欧洲主要占这一比例。对该领域的主要兴趣代表了选择 A/I 专业的主要动机。关于参与科学社团的情况，41.1% 的受访者曾参加过 EAACI 大会，20.6% 参加过 AAAAI 大会，20.4% 参加过 WAO 大会。 40.3% 的受访者表示，科学社团没有为年轻成员提供足够的机会，96.4% 的受访者认为 A/I 社团之间需要更深入的合作。 结论 该调查首次提供了有关 A/I 专业的全球视角。它代表了三个主要 A/I 协会初级会员 (JM) 之间结构化合作的第一个例子。研究结果表明，至少在全球人工智能领域的培训和形成方面需要协调一致。
BackgroundEducation and training in Allergy and Clinical Immunology (A/I) are characterized by a great variability worldwide. However, objective and worldwide data regarding this topic are lacking.MethodsTo investigate personal information, education, and involvement in scientific societies of juniors engaged in A/I field, a questionnaire was developed by representatives from the JMs’ boards of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI), and the World Allergy Organization (WAO).ResultsA total of 543 questionnaires were collected from 76 regions of all continents. The geographic distribution of responders was as follows: Africa‐Middle East 3.0%, Asia‐Pacific 21.4%, Europe 48.2%, Latin America 12.1%, and North America 15.3%. 59.0% of responders declared that A/I is recognized as a separate specialty in their country, Europe mostly accounting for that proportion. Primary interest in the field represents the main motivation for choosing A/I specialty. Concerning involvement in scientific societies, 41.1% of responders ever attended an EAACI Congress, 20.6% an AAAAI Congress, and 20.4% a WAO Congress. According to 40.3% of responders, scientific societies do not provide enough opportunities for young members, and 96.4% believes in a more intensive cooperation between the A/I Societies.ConclusionsThe survey provides the first worldwide perspective about A/I specialty. It represents the first ever example of a structured collaboration between the junior members (JMs) of the three main A/I Societies. The findings suggest the need for harmonization, at least in terms of training and formation in the field of A/I worldwide.
