Exploration of What Pediatric Residents Find Most Helpful From Their Programs in Facilitating Well-Being.

Objective: Burnout is highly prevalent among residents, and although many studied interventions have targeted burnout by trying to promote well-being, it remains a substantial problem. This study utilized data from the Pediatric Resident Burnout-Resilience Study Consortium (PRB-RSC) Annual Burnout Survey to determine which program interventions categorical and noncategorical (medicine-pediatrics and combined programs) pediatric residents found most helpful to promote well-being.

Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of an open-ended question on the PRB-RSC Annual Burnout Survey in 2019 and 2020: "What is the most helpful thing that your program provides you for wellness?" We performed thematic and content analysis on open-ended responses and compared distribution of themes and subthemes between years using a Chi-square test.

Implementing Entrustable Professional Activities in Pediatric Fellowships: Facilitating the Process.

Background And Objectives: Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) will be used for initial certification by the American Board of Pediatrics by 2028. Less than half of pediatric fellowships currently use EPAs for assessment, yet all will need to adopt them. Our objectives were to identify facilitators and barriers to the implementation of EPAs to assess pediatric fellows and to determine fellowship program directors' (FPD) perceptions of EPAs and Milestones.

Level of Supervision for the Entrustable Professional Activities Common to General Pediatrics and the Subspecialties Decreases from Residency to Fellowship.

Objectives: To compare level of supervision (LOS) ratings of graduating pediatric residents with their assessments as fellows for the five Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) common to general pediatrics and the subspecialties and to determine if the difference between ratings from residency to fellowship is less for the QI and Practice Management EPAs, since the skills needed to perform these may be less context-dependent.

Methods: We compared ratings of graduating residents with their assessments as fellows using LOS data from two sequential EPA studies.

Results: There were 65 ratings from 41 residents at the first fellow assessment.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Training Curriculum for Pediatric Nephrology: PCRRT-ICONIC Group Recommendations.

Key Points: Despite a high need and interest in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in trainees and faculty of Pediatric Nephrology, the majority are not receiving POCUS training. There is a need to establish a structured pediatric nephrology POCUS program for clinicians and fellows. This study suggests a blueprint of POCUS curriculum which can serve as a foundation for POCUS education in pediatric nephrology centers worldwide.
