Visiting Jack: mixed methods evaluation of a virtual home visit curriculum with a child with medical complexity.
This study’s objective was to evaluate the impact of participation in a virtual home visit curriculum on pediatric residents’ confidence, knowledge, and application of knowledge in caring for children with medical complexity (CMC) in the home and community. This prospective pre-post intervention study was conducted in 2019 with first-year pediatric residents using quantitative and qualitative methods. The intervention used was an online video-based curriculum followed by an in-person seminar. Twenty-four residents participated. All reported increased confidence in all aspects of complex care presented in the curriculum. Half of them (12) participated in a follow-up interview or focus group. Four themes identified were: 1) recognizing prior attitudes towards complexity; 2) new mental framework for mental care at home; 3) drivers of behavior change; and 4) commitment to change practice.

A comparison of electronic patient-portal use among patients with resident and attending primary care providers.
In this study, the authors investigated differences in overall and patterns of portal use for patients with resident and attending primary care providers (PCPs). They concluded that given the lower patient-portal use among residents' patients, residency programs should develop curricula to bolster trainee competence in using the patient-portal for communication and to enhance the patient-physician relationship.

Balancing clinical experience in outpatient residency training.
In order to balance the range of clinical experiences to which medical residents are exposed during their training, the authors set out to develop a framework for systematically optimizing patient reassignment at the beginning of the academic year. Their approach was based on a computer algorithm that they designed to sort patient panels by weighting factors of interest such as age, gender, and complexity.
