Abstract
OBJECTIVE The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in training programs restructuring their curricula. Fellowship programs are required to monitor each fellow's training progress through a combination of formal evaluations, competency tracking, and measures of knowledge acquisition. The American Board of Pediatrics administers subspecialty in-training examinations (SITE) to pediatric fellowship trainees annually and board certification exams at the completion of the fellowship. The objective of this study was to compare SITE scores and certification exam passing rates before and during the pandemic. METHODS In this retrospective observational study, we collected summative data on SITE scores and certification exam passing rates for all pediatric subspecialties from 2018 to 2022. Trends over time were assessed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis to test for trends across years within one group and t-test analysis to compare groups before and during the pandemic. RESULTS Data were obtained from 14 pediatric subspecialties. Comparing prepandemic to pandemic scores, Infectious Diseases, Cardiology, and Critical Care Medicine saw statistically significant decreases in SITE scores. Conversely, Child Abuse and Emergency Medicine saw increases in SITE scores. Emergency Medicine saw a statistically significant increase in certification exam passing rates, while Gastroenterology and Pulmonology saw decreases in exam passing rates. CONCLUSIONS The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in restructuring didactics and clinical care based on the needs of the hospital. There were also societal changes affecting patients and trainees. Subspecialty programs with declining scores and certification exam passing rates may need to assess their educational and clinical programs and adapt to the needs of trainees' learning edges.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Suicide rates and frequency of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits for suicidal thoughts and behaviors have increased among Black preadolescents in the United States in recent years. This study examined whether characteristics of ED visits and treatment management of preadolescents with suicidal thoughts and behaviors differed by race. METHODS An electronic medical record query identified patients ages 8-12 (N=504) who visited a pediatric ED with a psychiatric-related chief complaint in 2019. The authors examined suicidal thoughts and behaviors that were reported with the Ask Suicide-Screening Questions tool, ED clinical impression, and ED disposition overall and by race. RESULTS Compared with other racial groups, Black preadolescents were less likely to report suicidal thoughts, despite equivalent lifetime histories of suicide attempts, and were more likely to be brought to the ED by police and discharged (instead of being admitted to inpatient psychiatric care). CONCLUSIONS Research to better understand racial disparities in suicide risk among preadolescents can inform prevention efforts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate both applicant and interviewer satisfaction with the virtual interviewing process for pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellowship in hopes to improve the fellowship interviewing process. It was proposed that fellowship programs and applicants would prefer virtual interviews over traditional interviews. METHODS A survey developed in collaboration with UT Southwestern PEM fellowship leaders and national PEM leaders was sent to all PEM fellowship applicants and programs at the conclusion of the 2020 interview season and rank list submission. The applicant survey obtained information on ease of virtual interviews and whether applicants felt that they obtained adequate information from virtual interviews to make informed program selections. Program director surveys collected data on thoughts and feelings about virtual interviews and obstacles encountered during the recruitment season. Both surveys asked about costs for interviews and interview type preference. RESULTS A response rate of 49% from applicants and 47% from programs was obtained. Virtual interview days were similar in the amount of time and staff hours used compared with traditional days. Applicants spent less on virtual interviews compared with those who underwent traditional interviews (average $725 vs $4312). Programs received more applications than the prior year and spent less money during the virtual cycle. The majority of the applicants (90%) were comfortable with the virtual interview platform, and most (66%) agreed that virtual interviews provided adequate information to determine program rank. Geography was the number 1 rank determining factor. Programs and applicants preferred a form of in-person interviews. CONCLUSIONS Virtual interviews provide cost savings for both applicants and programs. Despite this, both parties prefer a form of in-person interviews.

Abstract
The Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) Head Injury/Trauma Algorithm is a well-validated decision rule used to identify patients at low risk of clinically important traumatic brain injuries who may not need head CT. In adult patients with mild head trauma, elevated serum glucose and white cell count (WCC) have been associated with abnormal head CT findings. Currently, glucose or WCC is not considered in pediatric patients. The objective of this study was to determine if elevations in glucose or WCC could be used as additional tools to risk-stratify pediatric trauma patients for intracranial injury (ICI). Data were abstracted from the Maryland Trauma Registry and from electronic medical records for patients at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center from 2017 to 2020. We evaluated 145 encounters that met the inclusion criteria. There were 33 cases of ICI on CT. In addition to higher median glucose and WCC, we found that patients with ICI had a younger median age and were less likely to have other clinically significant injuries than patients without ICI. Following multiple logistic regression analysis, WCC (OR 1.113, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.21), younger age (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.8 to 0.98), and absence of other injuries (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.73) were found to be associated with risk of ICI. The area under the curve for our model was 0.79. When used with the PECARN algorithm, our model could help determine which patients may avoid head CT or undergo a shorter observation period.

Abstract
Resident and attending concern about the potential for decreased teaching has been cited as one of the drawbacks to the adoption of family-centered rounds (FCR). Despite these concerns, FCR can enhance clinical education through direct exposure to multiple patients by all team members, as well as by allowing faculty to teach, model, observe, and assess learners' clinical skills more effectively than in nonbedside settings. This article provides many strategies and approaches to bedside teaching designed to enhance education and communication among care team members as well as patients and their families.

Abstract
Medical school learning communities have many benefits for students. In this perspective, the authors briefly describe how learning communities have benefited them as faculty. These include finding other like-minded faculty, improving communication and clinical skills, career advancement through scholarly work associated with the learning community, and above all, developing mutually beneficial relationships with students. Here, they offer viewpoints from junior and senior faculty members on how the learning community has positively affected them.
