Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Common Program Requirements include training in caring for diverse populations and understanding social determinants of health. Our large pediatric residency program implemented a longitudinal equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) curriculum.
Objective: To explore pediatric residents' perspectives and experiences in our longitudinal EDI curriculum.
Methods: We applied the holistic framework by Haji et al. to characterize the effect of our EDI curriculum. We conducted 4 focus groups from November 2019 to September 2020 with trained facilitators using a structured question guide. We approached all eligible senior residents (n = 87) via email to participate. Project members coded written notes and transcripts and analyzed data using inductive thematic analysis.
Results: 26 pediatric senior residents participated either in person (n = 13) or online (n = 13). Themes emerged from domains of knowledge, attitudes and behavioral change. These included having: (1) increased knowledge surrounding EDI issues, (2) a framework and language to better engage in EDI efforts and (3) increased confidence interrupting bias and microaggressions. Additional themes demonstrated: an increased need for EDI education at the institutional level, the unique experiences of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) trainees, and systemic barriers to equitable care.
Conclusion: A longitudinal EDI curriculum has the potential to influence individual trainees, their work, and perceptions of the broader institutions in which they operate. Residents recognized and valued the curriculum and felt driven to use this knowledge to ensure that institutional policies and practices led to equitable clinical care.

Purpose: The course of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is typically assessed qualitatively using indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). However, a quantitative approach could improve accuracy and objectivity. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical value of the automated measurement capabilities of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) to measure choroidal thickness (quantitative approach) in chronic VKH.

Humans are extensively exposed to organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), an emerging group of organic contaminants with potential nephrotoxicity. Nevertheless, the estimated daily intake (EDI) and prognostic impacts of OPFRs have not been assessed in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this 2-year longitudinal study of 169 patients with CKD, we calculated the EDIs of five OPFR triesters from urinary biomonitoring data of their degradation products and analyzed the effects of OPFR exposure on adverse renal outcomes and renal function deterioration.
