Shaping The Medical Educators Of Tomorrow: Developing Residents' Teaching And Educational Scholarship Skills, Devang Pastakia, Jen King, Alyssa Schlotman, Ryan Hanson, Kyle Langford, Lauren Starnes, Ryan Wolf, Tara Minor

Presentations

It is widely accepted that residents play an integral role in educating medical students.1 It is estimated that medical students receive approximately one-third of their clinical education from residents.2 It has been demonstrated that good education from residents positively impacts medical student clerkship satisfaction and influences career choices.2 Despite the fact that residents participate in educational responsibilities and many residents want to incorporate medical education into their future careers, residencies often do not have programs that provide a foundation for developing future medical educators.3 Dedicated programs may also serve as an avenue through which residents can explore medical education careers …

Exploring How Parental Involvement Impacts Police Encounters And Delinquent Behaviors Among Black Adolescent Girls, Danielle Porter, Elizabeth A. Otto, Dyamon Brown, Jasmine Alli, Robyn Douglas, Noni Gaylord-Harden

Presentations

Adolescents’ contact with police is a complex outcome that is influenced by both individual behavior and the broader social context. Specifically, while delinquent behavior can lead to more police contact (Crutchfield et al., 2012), hyper-surveillance often occurs in marginalized communities, increasing unjustified police contact for youth of color (Campos-Manzo et al., 2020; Geller, 2021). Indeed, racial disparities in police contact during adolescence persist even after accounting for delinquent behavior (Campos-Manzo et al., 2020; Crutchfield et al., 2012). Thus, it is important to identify factors that may protect Black youth from contact with police. Parental involvement refers to parents’ active and …

Antibiotic-Pathogen Concordance In Pediatric Complicated Community-Acquired Pneumonia, Makenna Steger Md, Marina Dantas Md, Mscr, Berina Karisik Do, Smit Shah, Alaina Burns Pharmd, Jessica Markham

Presentations

Background Complicated community-acquired pneumonia (cCAP)—defined by effusion, empyema, abscess, cavitation, or necrosis—is associated with worse outcomes than uncomplicated pneumonia. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) data in cCAP are limited and often merged with uncomplicated cases. Although guidelines recommend MRSA coverage only in select cases, it is empirically used in >70% of encounters. Lack of pathogen identification likely drives overuse due to diagnostic uncertainty.

Posters

Introduction: Children with high-intensity neurologic impairment (HINI) account for a sizeable proportion of inpatient resources.

Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included discharges of patients with HINI aged 12-29 years from 41 children’s hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System between 2022-24.
