Objectives: Racism has been recognized as a public health crisis, with calls for greater focus on antiracism in medical training. We sought to evaluate a longitudinal antiracist curriculum among pediatric residents.
Methods: In 2020-2021, we delivered seven educational sessions to pediatric trainees in a single residency program.
Background: The evaluation of febrile infants ≤60 days of age is often guided by established protocols. However, structural racism and physicians' implicit bias may affect how such clinical guidelines are applied.
Objective: To determine the association between self-identified race, insurance type, ZIP code-based median household income (MHI) and receiving a guideline-concordant lumbar puncture (GCLP) in febrile infants.
Background And Objectives: Inpatient pediatric care is increasingly provided by pediatric hospitalists. This, in addition to changes in resident duty hour restrictions, has led to the creation of new models of care for inpatient pediatric patients. The objective of this study was to compare traditional outcome measures between a pediatric hospitalist-only service and a more traditional academic service in which care was provided by pediatric hospitalists, residents, and medical students.
