An Annotated Bibliography of Key Studies in Medical Education in 2019: Applying the Current Literature to Educational Practice and Scholarship.

Pediatric medical educators have the dual challenge of remaining up-to-date in the field of pediatrics and in the field of medical education. Due to the volume of information published in these 2 fields it can be nearly impossible to remain current in both fields of practice. To facilitate interpretation of the most recent medical education research, the authors conducted an annotated bibliography of medical education literature published in 2019.

Online education in a hurry: Delivering pediatric graduate medical education during COVID-19.

In the setting of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, an emergency hospital-wide eWork policy was enacted at Boston Children's Hospital on March 16, 2020. The number of clinicians on campus was restricted to only essential personnel, guidelines limited clinical care delivery to solely non-elective patients, and strict maximums were placed on the numbers of people allowed to congregate in the same physical space. With this abrupt transition to social distancing and electronic communication, the established approach to educating graduate medical trainees became obsolete overnight.
