r/pediatrics

How many PCP's write animal companion letters for patients landlords, or does your behavioral health department do those?

honestly idk how much more charting my brain can physically handle. Currently stuck on a night shift where I had to admit like five toddlers for standard rsv/bronchiolitis. kids screaming, parents exhausted, just pure chaos.

But the absolute worst part is the hospital admin expecting these massive novel-length admit notes for what basically boils down to "suction and oxygen". Its so draining. lately ive just been dumping the raw emr vitals into around notes to piece together the H&Ps because my brain literally stops working after the third screaming infant.

it's almost 4am and I'm still sitting here clicking redundant billing boxes in epic while everyone else is asleep. Please tell me the census drops soon. I need a nap

You have to be kidding me. I can hardly believe this is even serious. Never setting foot in the state of Texas again, let alone spending a dollar there. I’ll take my higher taxes and Rust Belt life and live in peace.

Can anyone in the group in Texas enlighten us? Anyone want to relocate? Almost all the pediatricians in our area are at or near retirement age.

Hi everyone, I’ve scored low on my PREP self-assessment exams (2024 55% and 2025: 60%). I’ve finished MedStudy once and currently done 30% of my second round. Finished MedStudy flashcards! Is this normal for prep questions? Should I repeat them again or focus on MedStudy?

Does any know how far along their ROL does Stanford match their Peds Cardiologist fellows? Dream program and I am not sure how my interview went quite honestly.

About a week out from boards, which is more high-yield: repeating MedStudy questions (already finished a pass) or doing PREP questions? MedStudy flashcards?

What’s a good number of interviews to have to match into PEM (pediatric emergency medicine) fellowship?
