OBJECTIVES: The individualized curriculum within residency programs allows residents to tailor their elective time toward future career goals and interests. Our objective was to identify experiences and activities that would foster resident interest and enhance preparation for a career in pediatric hospital medicine (PHM). METHODS: Electronic surveys were distributed to pediatric hospitalists, PHM fellowship directors, and graduating PHM fellows. These stakeholders were asked to identify key experiences for residents to explore before entering fellowship or practice. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were performed on survey responses. RESULTS: Forty-six percent of PHM fellows (16 of 35), 42% of pediatric hospitalists (149 of 356), and 58% of fellowship program directors (35 of 60) completed the survey. All 3 groups identified complex care as the most important clinical experience to gain in residency. Other highly valued clinical experiences included pain management, surgical comanagement, and palliative care. Lumbar puncture, electrocardiograph interpretation, and airway management were identified as essential procedural skills. Nonclinical experiences that were deemed important included quality improvement, development of teaching skills, and research methodology. All groups agreed that these recommendations should be supplemented with effective mentorship. CONCLUSIONS: Identification of key clinical experiences, nonclinical activities, and mentorship for residents interested in PHM may assist with tailoring the individualized curriculum to personal career goals. Incorporating these suggested experiences can improve preparedness of residents entering PHM.

Electronic information is a vital resource used by fellowship applicants. This study aimed to assess the completeness of colon and rectal surgery (CRS) fellowship program online information. Program information on the Association of Program Directors for Colon and Rectal Surgery (APDCRS) website as well as each institutional website was evaluated based on templated criteria. Sixty-eight accredited fellowship programs were identified. Six (9%) programs had complete profiles on the APDCRS platform, with an average of 3.5 details completed per program. Sixty-two (91%) websites were easily accessible. None of these contained all 28 criteria assessed and 47 (69%) contained less than half of assessed content. The most common data point was fellowship program description (96%), while board pass rate (1%) was the least common. Most CRS fellowship websites were grossly incomplete. Electronically available information is vital to fellowship applicants, and programs should try to provide easily accessible information about their program.
