Lessons From the Frontlines: Pandemic Response Among New York City Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Programs During COVID-19.

The global pandemic novel coronavirus 2019 has upended healthcare and medical education, particularly in disease epicenters such as New York City. In this piece, we seek to describe the collective experiences and lessons learned by the New York City pediatric emergency medicine fellowship directors in clinical, educational, investigative, and psychological domains, in hopes of engendering conversation and informing future disaster response efforts.

Repetitive simulation is an effective instructional design within a pediatric resident simulation curriculum.

Introduction: Repetitive paediatric simulation (scenario-debrief-scenario; RPS) is an instructional design that allows immediate application of learner-directed feedback, in contrast to standard simulation (scenario-debrief; STN). Our aim was to examine the impact of RPS embedded within a paediatric resident simulation curriculum, comparing it to STN.

Methods: In this prospective educational cohort study, paediatric residents were enrolled in STN (n=18) or RPS (n=15) groups from August 2012 through June 2013.

Intimate Partner Relationships, Work-Life Factors, and Their Associations With Burnout Among Partnered Pediatric Residents.

Background: Burnout is prevalent among pediatric residents, and reducing burnout is a priority for pediatric residency programs. Understanding residents' personal circumstances, including relationship satisfaction and perceived work-life conflict, may identify novel determinants of burnout.

Objectives: To describe intimate partner relationships among pediatric residents and examine associations among relationship satisfaction, work-life factors, and burnout.

Pediatric Resident Burnout and Attitudes Toward Patients.

Background And Objectives: Burnout occurs in up to 75% of resident physicians. Our study objectives were to: (1) determine the prevalence of burnout, and (2) examine the association between burnout and self-reported patient care attitudes and behaviors among pediatric residents.

Methods: A total of 258 residents (53% response rate) from 11 pediatric residency programs completed a cross-sectional Web-based survey.
