Optimizing Education During Pediatric Resident Mock Code Sessions.

Introduction: Most pediatric residents have limited opportunities to manage cardiac arrest. We used simulation to fill that educational void. Given work hours and other obligations, resident education sessions must be high-yield.

The Effectiveness of a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Block Education Session for Pediatric Residents.

Background And Objective: There exists no standardized curriculum for pediatric residents to develop procedural skills during residency training. Many pediatric residency programs are transitioning to block education sessions; the effectiveness of this format for delivering pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) procedural curriculum has not been evaluated. The objective is to determine if a PEM block education session improved pediatric residents' knowledge and confidence in 4 domains: laceration repair, splinting of extremities, resuscitation/airway management, and point-of-care ultrasound.
