description BACKGROUND: Understanding clinical practice related to awareness and clinical understanding of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and can inform development of tools to improve physician practices and patient screening, diagnosis and management. METHODS: A survey instrument of 25 multiple choice, knowledge- and case-based questions allowed participants to assess their clinical knowledge with regard to CMV. These questions are designed to assess clinicians’ baseline knowledge, competence, and current practice. Immediate peer-response data solidify support for correct responses. The survey was available online to physicians without monetary compensation or charge. Respondent confidentiality was maintained and responses were de-identified and aggregated prior to analyses. Initial data collection occurred from July 27, 2022 to October 18, 2022. RESULTS: In total, 107 OB/GYNs and 77 pediatricians completed the full assessment within the data collection period. Physicians demonstrated gaps in the following areas: [Table: see text] CONCLUSION: This educational research on assessment of physicians’ clinical practices yielded important insights into clinical gaps related to CMV among OB/GYNs and pediatricians. While the gaps were similar in most areas, OB/GYNs showed larger gaps in identifying source of transmission, and management of possible congenital CMV compared with pediatricians, whereas pediatricians showed larger gaps in identifying seropositivity rates and diagnosing CMV. DISCLOSURES: All Authors: No reported disclosures
