Background: The prevalence of pediatric food allergies is increasing. Although pediatric residents are frontline providers for children with food allergies, little is known about pediatric residents' educational experiences and comfort with infant and toddler food allergy.
Methods: An anonymous online needs assessment survey was created and distributed to 64 residents in one residency program. The survey explored residents' knowledge sources, experience, and comfort in diagnosing, treating, and counseling patients with regard to food allergy and anaphylaxis.
Results: Fifty-one pediatric residents (79.7%) completed the survey. Pediatric residents who had formal engagement with allergy-trained clinicians had 8.27 times the odds (odds ratio 8.27 [95% confidence interval, 1.16-59.01]; = 0.035) of feeling comfortable in treating infant and toddler anaphylaxis compared with those who did not feel comfortable.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that a standardized pediatric residency curriculum, in partnership with pediatric allergists, may present enhanced educational opportunities for pediatric residents.

Over-the-counter diet pills and muscle-building supplements are linked to increased eating disorder diagnoses, especially among youth. With limited regulatory oversight, minors may unknowingly consume harmful substances leading to other adverse effects. Massachusetts has proposed restricting sales to individuals under 18 years.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a potentially life-saving treatment for children with relapsed/refractory B-cell hematologic malignancies, and remains an important investigational therapy for other childhood cancers. Yet, access to this class of therapies remains suboptimal through both commercial use and clinical trials, especially in children, adolescents, and young adults. Using a series of case-based discussions, we outline guidance on real-world medical decision-making, and offer potential solutions to enhancing access to CAR T-cell therapy as a treatment modality.

The AEP 2025 Vaccination and Immunization Schedule recommended for children, adolescents and pregnant women residing in Spain features the following novelties: Due to the increase in measles cases and outbreaks in recent years, we recommend advancing the second dose of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to 2 years of age. As a consequence of the above, since many autonomous communities (ACs) use the quadrivalent vaccine for the second dose of MMR and varicella vaccines, we recommend, for all ACs, advancing the second dose of varicella vaccine to 2 years of age. Due to the very significant increase in cases of pertussis since late 2023 and especially in 2024, we recommend advancing the dose of Tdap given in adolescence to 10-12 years of age.

Objective: This study aimed to bridge the educational gap in clinical informatics (CI) at the residency level and stimulate interest in CI as a rewarding career path.
Methods: We developed an innovative CI and quality improvement (QI) resident rotation. This rotation replaced traditional QI blocks for Internal Medicine and several other residency programs, offering comprehensive exposure to core informatics and QI principles.
