Summary: In order to stay up-to-date with the latest research, pediatric medical educators need to familiarize themselves with a vast amount of literature in pediatrics and medical education. This annotated bibliography provides summaries of key manuscripts published in 2021 that can significantly impact the practices of pediatric medical educators. Through a two-stage iterative process, the authors reviewed 1599 abstracts from 16 medical education and specialty journals and selected 16 manuscripts that cover various domains such as assessment, communication, wellness, diversity, and professional development. The authors provide concise summaries and key takeaways from these manuscripts to help pediatric educators enhance their educational practices. Additionally, a 6-year retrospective review of the journals included in this annotated bibliography is provided.

Summary: The study found a negative correlation between graduate medical education (GME) funding and hospital financial standing, but a positive correlation with patient outcomes and resident academic performance. This indicates that GME funding does not necessarily improve hospital finances, but is associated with better patient outcomes and resident academic performance.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the differences in how male and female medical students value various factors in choosing a career path in medicine. The results showed that female medical students placed more importance in exposure to third year clerkships and gender diversity within the specialty compared to their male counterparts. However, there was no statistical difference in opinions of significant others or family members, desire to have a family, or having a well-balanced life between female and male medical students.

Summary: The new duty hour limit for doctors in Japan, set to begin in 2024, will cap work hours at around 80 hours per week for postgraduate residents. To determine appropriate limits, understanding the relationship between work hours and psychological health is necessary. A study found that over one-third of residents exhibited signs of depression, over one-fifth experienced burnout, and nearly 40% were highly stressed. However, the majority of residents reported high satisfaction with their training.
