Although more guideline-adherent care has been described in pediatric compared to adult trauma centers, we aimed to provide a more detailed characterization of management and resource utilization of children with intra-abdominal injury (IAI) within pediatric centers. Our primary objective was to describe the epidemiology, diagnostic evaluation, and management of children with IAI across U.S. children’s hospitals. Our secondary objective was to describe the inter-hospital variation in surgical management of children with IAI.

Competency-based medical education (CBME) is a topic we have discussed often on this podcast series, and today we are discussing a critical part of it; direct observation of trainees. But as most of us know, direct observation also has its challenges in a busy ED. Today we’re discussing a new paper in AEM Education and Training entitled "Does direct observation influence the quality of workplace-based assessment documentation?" First author Dr. Jeffrey Landreville is here to discuss it with us.
