Effect of a novel mindfulness curriculum on burnout during pediatric internship: a cluster randomized clinical trial.
This study examined the effectiveness of a monthly mindfulness curriculum (Mindfulness Intervention for New Interns) for medical interns on emotional exhaustion (EE) as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory 9-question EE subscale as well as secondary outcomes of depersonalization, personal accomplishment, and burnout. This was a randomized clinical trial of 340 pediatric interns participating in 15 US pediatric training programs from June 2017 to February 2019. The intervention included 7 hour-long sessions and a monthly mindfulness refresher implemented during internship. The active control arm also included monthly 1-hour social lunches. Follow-up was done at 6 months and at month 15. Both arms’ EE scores were higher at 6 and 15 months than at baseline, but EE did not significantly differ by arm in multivariable analyses. There were also no significant differences in the 6 secondary outcomes at month 6 or month 15.

"It makes me a better person and doctor": a qualitative study of residents' perceptions of a curriculum addressing racism.
The purpose of this study was to explore how pediatric residents perceive the impact of a curriculum addressing racism on their knowledge, motivation, skills and behaviors and investigate the contextual factors that promote or impede the curriculum's effectiveness. Semi structured interviews were conducted at two academic medical centers among pediatric residents. Findings showed that medical education addressing racism can facilitate the perceived acquisition of foundational knowledge regarding race and racism, motivation and skill-building to combat racism, and action planning aimed at improving patient care.
