    Abstract We need to increase the continuity ambulatory component in medicine, pediatrics, and med-peds program requirements. I believe our curriculum has tilted too far towards inpatient training. We are grooming a generation of hospitalists and hospital-based practitioners at the expense of our outpatient training. Increasing continuity ambulatory training offers an important opportunity for autonomy, direct patient care and vocational formation.

    Abstract Introduction: Providers working with children who are dying are especially prone to burnout. Encouraging models of human flourishing may mitigate burnout and improve quality of care. However, models of job satisfaction and human flourishing have not been well-described. This project explores factors that promote human flourishing among caregivers working with children in pediatric palliative care in South Africa.
    Methods: A convenience sample of caregivers working in pediatric palliative care were invited to complete an anonymous, confidential survey comprised of validated instruments. The survey also included open-ended questions to explore opinions and attitudes about satisfaction, struggles, and coping.
    Results: Twenty-nine people from a variety of occupations and work environments completed the survey. The prevalence of burnout was 3/29 (10%). Life satisfaction was associated with private religious activities (
    Conclusions: Despite job stress and working with terminally ill children, several factors were associated with flourishing. These findings are particularly relevant to enhance caregiving in the resource-challenged setting of pediatric palliative care in South Africa.

    Abstract We have been here before. In 430 BCE, a plague struck Athens, killing as much as 25% of the population. In 1347 CE, the bubonic plague afflicted western Europe for 4 years, killing as much as 50% of the population. The plague of Athens led to a collapse of their religion, cultural norms and democracy. In contrast, the bubonic plague led eventually to the Renaissance, a growth of art, science and humanism. As we contend with the COVID-19 global pandemic, will we become Athens or Florence?

    Abstract Objective: This systematic review investigates the association between measures of religiosity or spirituality (R/S) and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
    Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted for all English language articles published between 1966 and August 2022 in six relevant databases: PubMed, PSYCHinfo, CINAHL, ATLA, Scopus, Sociological Abstracts, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials. Search terms for religious variables included, "religion", "religiosity", "spirituality", "religious attendance". Search terms for diabetes outcomes included, "diabetes", "hemoglobin A1c", "blood glucose", "glycemic control." The protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO).
    Results: A total of 758 studies examining correlations between R/S and glycemic control were screened from relevant databases. Forty studies were evaluated for eligibility and inclusion. Eight studies were selected and analyzed. Three studies showed positive associations, two studies showed positive and neutral associations, two studies showed positive and negative associations, and one study showed a neutral association. Limitations included small sample sizes and heterogeneity of study designs.
    Conclusion: Involvement in religious and spiritual practices may be associated with improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Specific mechanisms for associations may be partially explained by more effective self-management practices, increased positive social contacts, and regular community support. Further research is needed to clarify these associations.

    Abstract Physician burnout influences physician mental health, staff stress, safety events, and patient outcomes. The association of burnout with compassion satisfaction, secondary stress, emotional coping strategies and many psychosocial variables, such as institutional support, friendship, and spirituality, have not been well studied. A convenience sample of internal medicine physicians was emailed a survey using validated instruments to explore these associations. The response rate was 337/1021 (33%), with a burnout prevalence of 175/337 (52%). Grit, acceptance, active coping, positive reframing, and strategy planning were associated with lower burnout domains and greater compassion satisfaction. Certain emotional coping strategies such as denial, disengagement, self-blame, substance abuse, and venting were associated with greater burnout and lower compassion satisfaction. Greater institutional support was associated with lower burnout (r =  - .35, p < .001), secondary stress (r =  - .14, p < .05), and compassion satisfaction (r = .28, p < .0001). Friendship was associated with lower burnout (r =  - .25, p < .0001) and greater compassion satisfaction (r = .28, p < .0001). This study suggests that amelioration of burnout requires both intrinsic strategies that emphasize physician coping skills as well as extrinsic strategies that address institutional support.
