Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of constructing a career development and support system for pediatric residents to enhance their professional beliefs and to strengthen their career path. Methods Based on earlier research, literature review, and preliminary work, a provisional career development and support system was drafted. Seventeen experts from a university-affiliated children's hospital were invited to participate in Delphi study from June to July 2023. After two rounds of consultation, a career development and support system for pediatric resident physicians was finally formed. Results Two rounds of expert consultation resulted in a 100.0% questionnaire response rate, with expert authority coefficients of 0.894 and 0.868, respectively. The coordination coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultation were 0.212 and 0.269, respectively (χ2 values were 82.86 and 123.28, both P<0.001). The final support system includes 4 primary items, namely professionalism and beliefs, social support, teaching environment, and self-efficacy, as well as 22 secondary items. Conclusions The construction of the career development and support system for pediatric resident physicians may inform for the training of pediatric resident physicians, and provide a path for strengthening the career path of pediatric resident physicians.
