The pediatric subspecialty workforce is challenged by shortages and geographic maldistribution of subspecialists. We invited leaders in pediatrics to discuss how the field's vitality and survival can be secured. These leaders presented their own opinions and not the opinion of the society or organization that they are presenting.

- The study addresses gaps in medical education regarding the sexual health needs of diverse populations, particularly focusing on an adolescent sexuality workshop integrated into pediatric clerkships.
- The efficacy of the workshop was evaluated by comparing the performances of medical students who attended it with those who did not, during an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) involving a standardized patient scenario.
- Results indicated that students who participated in the workshop scored significantly higher in gathering psychosocial history, showing that targeted education can improve medical students' abilities to engage with sexual minority adolescents effectively.
Objective: Cerebral venous oxygenation (Y) is a key parameter for the brain's oxygen utilization and has been suggested to be a valuable biomarker in various brain diseases including hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in neonates and Alzheimer's disease in older adults. T-Relaxation-Under-Spin-Tagging (TRUST) MRI is a widely used technique to measure global Y level and has been validated against gold-standard PET. However, subject motion during TRUST MRI scan can introduce considerable errors in Y quantification, especially for noncompliant subjects.

This study investigated differences between medical student notes on inpatient general and subspecialty pediatric services by comparing note quality, length, and file time. Methods In a single-site, observational cohort study, medical students in the Core Clerkship in Pediatrics (CCP) from July 2020 to June 2021 participated in a note-writing didactic course.

Meta-memory techniques (MMTs) may be useful, but the efficacy of individual MMTs is unclear.
Methods: We designed a 3-part curriculum for pediatric clerkship students to teach one of 3 MMTs and provide practice in DDx generation through case-based sessions.
