An educational intervention improved pediatric residents' knowledge and clinical practices in pubertal assessment using Tanner staging. This simple, reproducible method enhances confidence in identifying developmental disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Endocrinology
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Accurate pubertal assessment is crucial for diagnosing endocrine disorders in children.
  • Pediatric residency programs are key for developing essential physical examination skills, including pubertal assessment.
  • Understanding puberty timing and progression is vital for pediatricians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an educational intervention designed to improve pediatric residents' skills in pubertal assessment.
  • To assess the impact of the intervention on residents' knowledge, clinical practices, and confidence in Tanner staging.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot educational intervention was implemented for pediatric residents.
  • The intervention included interactive lectures, Tanner stage ID cards, and clinic posters.

  • Surveys were administered pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months later to assess effectiveness.

    • Main Results:

    • Knowledge scores significantly improved among first-year residents (PGY1) post-intervention.
    • Self-reported clinical practices regarding genital examination and pubertal assessment improved at 3 months.
    • Confidence and comfort levels in assessing pubertal development and endocrine referral needs showed improvement, though not statistically significant.

    Conclusions:

    • The educational intervention is an effective and reproducible method for teaching pubertal assessment to pediatric residents.
    • The program provides essential knowledge for recognizing normal pubertal development and related conditions.
    • The intervention successfully instilled greater confidence in residents' ability to perform pubertal assessments.
