Background: Pediatric residency programs must adapt their curriculum to meet evolving patient needs yet face limited resources to implement changes resulting in gaps. We performed a categorical pediatric residency program curriculum needs assessment to inform curriculum development efforts.
Methods: We analyzed data from the 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics Annual Survey of Graduating Residents and pediatric program and associate program director polls conducted at a 2019 pediatric residency program director national meeting.
Objective: To explore justifications for differences between summative entrustment decisions made about pediatric residents by individuals who are charged with the review of residents (clinical competency committee, or CCC, members) and those who ultimately make final summative decisions about resident performance (program directors, or PDs).
Methods: Individual CCC member and PD supervisory role categorizations were made in the 2015 to 2016 academic year at 14 pediatric residency programs, placing residents into 1 of 5 progressive supervisory roles. When PD recommendations differed from CCC members, a free-text justification was requested.
Background: Clinical competency committee (CCC) identification of residents with performance concerns is critical for early intervention.
Methods: Program directors and 94 CCC members at 14 pediatric residency programs responded to a written survey prompt asking them to describe how they identify residents with performance concerns. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis.
