Introduction
The COVID‐19 pandemic onset had a global debilitating impact on individuals and on burgeoning careers. In 2021, the Children's Oncology Group Young Investigators Committee, Young SIOP (International Society of Paediatric Oncology) Network, and Young SIOPE (European Society for Paediatric Oncology) co‐sponsored a survey to explore the impacts of the first year of the pandemic on early‐career pediatric oncology professionals with respect to working practices, productivity, professional and career development, personal wellbeing, and changing childcare needs.
Methods
The survey comprised demographic, multiple‐choice, and free‐text questions, and was distributed via email and social media with English, French, and Spanish versions available. Descriptive statistics and chi‐square tests were used to compare quantitative data by self‐designated gender and country of origin. Qualitative data were described using content analysis.
Results
Professionals (N = 499, 26.3% male, 77.2% MDs) in 48 countries (77.6% high income) responded in English (79.4%), Spanish (12.4%), and French (8.2%). Respondents had difficulty obtaining and keeping jobs (26.9%), worsened overall academic productivity (50.7%, with higher rates among bench scientists, p |

Introduction

Descriptive statistics and chi‐square tests were used to compare quantitative data by self‐designated gender and country of origin. Qualitative data were described using content analysis.
Results
Professionals (N = 499, 26.3% male, 77.2% MDs) in 48 countries (77.6% high income) responded in English (79.4%), Spanish (12.4%), and French (8.2%). Respondents had difficulty obtaining and keeping jobs (26.9%), worsened overall academic productivity (50.7%, with higher rates among bench scientists, p < 0.01), and decreased career opportunities (40.9%). Childcare challenges impacted 56.7% of respondents and was felt more negatively among women (p = 0.008) and in high‐income settings (p < 0.0001). Qualitative data (n = 300) highlighted these differences were often attributable to diminished professional/personal boundaries and impacted their personal wellbeing.
Conclusion
The COVID‐19 pandemic significantly impacted early‐career academic and clinical professionals working in pediatric oncology, with unique challenges noted among those with childcare responsibilities. Career disruptions that resulted from the pandemic should be considered and mitigated by governing bodies and hiring institutions.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1545-5009</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 1545-5017</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1545-5017</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1002/pbc.31419</identifier><identifier>PMID: 39502016</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Wiley Subscription Services, Inc</publisher><subject>career opportunities ; Careers ; COVID-19 ; early career ; health professionals ; Medical personnel ; Multiple choice ; Oncology ; Pandemics ; pediatric oncology ; Pediatrics ; Professionals ; Social behavior ; Statistical analysis ; Surveys</subject><ispartof>Pediatric blood & cancer, 2025-01, Vol.72 (1), p.e31419-n/a</ispartof><rights>2024 The Author(s). published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.</rights><rights>2024 The Author(s).

Introduction
The COVID‐19 pandemic onset had a global debilitating impact on individuals and on burgeoning careers. In 2021, the Children's Oncology Group Young Investigators Committee, Young SIOP (International Society of Paediatric Oncology) Network, and Young SIOPE (European Society for Paediatric Oncology) co‐sponsored a survey to explore the impacts of the first year of the pandemic on early‐career pediatric oncology professionals with respect to working practices, productivity, professional and career development, personal wellbeing, and changing childcare needs.
Methods
The survey comprised demographic, multiple‐choice, and free‐text questions, and was distributed via email and social media with English, French, and Spanish versions available. Descriptive statistics and chi‐square tests were used to compare quantitative data by self‐designated gender and country of origin. Qualitative data were described using content analysis.
Results
Professionals (N = 499, 26.3% male, 77.2% MDs) in 48 countries (77.6% high income) responded in English (79.4%), Spanish (12.4%), and French (8.2%). Respondents had difficulty obtaining and keeping jobs (26.9%), worsened overall academic productivity (50.7%, with higher rates among bench scientists, p < 0.01), and decreased career opportunities (40.9%). Childcare challenges impacted 56.7% of respondents and was felt more negatively among women (p = 0.008) and in high‐income settings (p < 0.0001). Qualitative data (n = 300) highlighted these differences were often attributable to diminished professional/personal boundaries and impacted their personal wellbeing.
