The following is the winning submission from the third annual Section on Pediatric Trainees essay competition. This year's competition was informed by the 2018-2019 Section on Pediatric Trainees Advocacy Campaign: Advocacy Adventure, which empowered trainees to find their areas of passion, acquire and polish new skills, and organize advocacy efforts collaboratively. We asked writers to share experiences as physician advocates and were impressed with the broad variety of important topics submitted by trainees from around the country. This essay by Drs Panda and Garg highlights a critical issue facing children, human trafficking, and shares their innovative and sustainable survivor-informed training for pediatric trainees. Along with the runner-up submission by Dr Ju, which also appears in this issue, this piece is a wonderfully inspiring reminder that we are all well positioned to advocate for children in our roles as trainees and pediatricians.

Transient apical breakdown associated with clear aligner therapy: a case report.
Br Dent J
January 2025
Reader in Orthodontics and Honorary Consultant in Orthodontics, Centre for Oral Bioengineering, Institute of Dentistry, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, Turner Street, Whitechapel, London, E1 2AD, UK.
Transient apical breakdown (TAB) is widely reported in response to trauma, yet its occurrence due to orthodontic forces, particularly in aligner therapy, is less documented within current literature. TAB can easily be misdiagnosed as pulp necrosis, potentially leading to unnecessary and irreversible endodontic procedures. This case report describes an instance of TAB following the initiation of aligner treatment, where the affected tooth initially presented with signs suggesting pulp necrosis but regained normal coloration and pulpal response after six months of active monitoring.

A Mnemonic for Effective "Lesss PAINFUL" Pre-Rounding.
Cureus
December 2024
Radiology, University of California Davis School of Medicine, Sacramento, USA.
Due to much of medical training being inpatient centered, medical trainees generally do more pre-rounding on a per-patient basis than they do complete histories and physical exams (H&Ps). However, formal training often overlooks pre-rounding as a critical aspect of medical education and patient care, with at least 10 times more publications on H&Ps than on any other aspect of rounding over the past half-century. To address this critical gap in medical education, we introduce the "Lesss PAINFUL" pre-rounding mnemonic, emphasizing the importance of efficient pre-rounding for medical students or other trainees.
