Purpose: Current guidelines recommend debriefing following medical resuscitations to improve patient outcomes. The goal of this study was to describe national trends in postresuscitation debriefing practices among pediatric critical care medicine (PCCM) fellows to identify potential gaps in fellow education.
Methods: A 13-item survey was distributed to fellows in all 76 ACGME-accredited PCCM programs in the United States in the spring of 2021. The online survey addressed frequency and timing of debriefings following medical resuscitations, whether formal training is provided, which medical professionals are present, and providers' comfort level leading a debriefing. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: A total of 102 responses (out of a possible N of 536) were gathered from current PCCM fellows. All fellows (100%) reported participation in a medical resuscitation. Only 21% stated that debriefings occurred after every resuscitation event, and 44% did not follow a structured protocol for debriefing. While 66% reported feeling very or somewhat comfortable leading the debriefing, 19% felt either somewhat uncomfortable or very uncomfortable. A vast majority (92%) of participating fellows believed that debriefing would be helpful in improving team member performance during future resuscitations, and 92% expressed interest in learning more about debriefing.
Conclusions: The majority of PCCM fellows do not receive formal training on how to lead a debriefing. Given that 74% of fellows in our study did not feel very comfortable leading a debriefing but almost universally expressed that this practice is useful for provider well-being and performance, there is a clear need for increased incorporation of debriefing training into PCCM curricula across the United States.

Background: Entry into the interventional pulmonary (IP) fellowship requires prerequisite training in pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) fellowship in the United States. IP fellowship has become standardized, but the prerequisite training may be quite variable depending on the learner's exposure to IP during their PCCM fellowship. A survey study was conducted to identify potential foundational knowledge and/or skills gaps of new fellows entering IP fellowships.

Background: The management of massive hemoptysis is a high-risk, low-volume procedure that is associated with high mortality rates, and pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) fellows often lack training. Simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) is an educational strategy that improves skill but has not been applied to massive hemoptysis management.
Objective: This pilot study aimed to develop a high-fidelity simulator, implement an SBML curriculum, and evaluate the impact on PCCM fellows managing massive hemoptysis.

Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) fellows spend a minimum of 7% of their time in the outpatient setting over 3 years of training. In a multi-institutional survey, only 47% of PCCM fellows rated their ambulatory training as adequate. Internal medicine residencies previously adopted the "x + y" scheduling model, which separates inpatient ("x") and outpatient ("y") rotations to provide focused ambulatory experiences, to address similar concerns.

Background: Since the start of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the residency and fellowship recruitment process has changed significantly with the use of virtual interview (VI) platforms. Pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) candidates reported in a survey that VIs hindered their ability to evaluate their fit within the program. However, the program directors' (PDs') opinion of this process remains unknown.
