Essential yet Ill-defined: leadership roles to support fourth-year medical students in pediatrics

CONCLUSIONS: As specialty-specific experiences have grown in the fourth year of medical school, there is an increasing demand for faculty leadership separate from direction of the pediatric clerkship. In this national survey, pediatric educators expressed a need for additional protected time to lead fourth-year specific activities. Similar findings in other disciplines would support advocating for more protected time and expanded roles for specialty-specific fourth-year directors nationally.PMID:34232843 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2021.1950108
