Family-centered communication: A pilot educational intervention using deliberate practice and patient feedback.

Objective: There are few opportunities in medical education dedicated to learning skills for effective communication in life altering patient scenarios. We therefore aimed to develop and assess a longitudinal advanced communication curriculum for pediatric residents using patient feedback and deliberate practice.

Methods: Pediatric residents at a large academic center were randomized into 2 groups.

Relationship Between Clinical Factors and Duration of IV Antibiotic Treatment in Neonatal UTI.

Objectives: To describe practice patterns of intravenous (IV) antibiotic treatment duration in term neonates ≤28 days old with a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of term neonates ≤28 days old hospitalized for UTI at 2 academic pediatric hospitals from 2012 to 2018. Neonates who were admitted to the PICU or with known preexisting renal and/or urologic anomalies or concomitant bacteremia were excluded.
