Medical Student Training in Pediatric Hospital Medicine: A National Survey of Pediatric Clerkships.

Background And Objectives: Medical student electives offer opportunities for career exploration; it is unknown if electives exist for the newest pediatric subspecialty, pediatric hospital medicine (PHM), or how PHM competencies are already addressed in required medical student training. Our objectives for this study were (1) to determine the prevalence of exposure to PHM competencies in medical school and (2) to inform a needs assessment for a PHM elective.

Methods: A 5-item survey was distributed to members of the Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics as part of a larger survey in 2018.

Medical Student Participation in Patient- and Family-Centered Rounding: A National Survey of Pediatric Clerkships.

Objective: Pediatrics rotations may be medical students' only experience with patient- and family-centered rounding (PFCR). It is unclear how students participate in or are prepared for PFCR. We surveyed national pediatrics clerkships to determine the prevalence of PFCR and the proportion providing orientation in order to inform a needs assessment for PFCR orientation.
