Demographics of respondents
Survey respondents represented 15 Canadian hospitals, with at least one clinician representative of each Canadian region, and a range of clinical experience. Detailed demographic information for survey respondents is described in Table 1. We received the most responses from Western Canada (44%) and Eastern Canada (33.3%).
Subspecialty residents in pediatric hematology-oncology represented 17.6% of survey respondents (2 in year one, 4 in year 2, and 3 in year 3 or higher) while the remaining 82.4% were faculty with a range of experience: 12 respondents were faculty for <5 years, 15 for 5-15 years, 12 for 15-30 years and 3 for 30 or more years. Only 3 respondents (6%) reported being a clinician scientist spending >50% of their time on research.
