To determine the association between inpatient team continuity, defined as the maximum number of days the same student, resident, and attending worked together on the inpatient wards, and the academic performance of students in a pediatric block clerkship. ⋯ Increased inpatient team continuity is associated with students receiving higher preceptor ratings and achieving a higher final pediatric clerkship grade. While the mechanisms driving these associations remain unknown, the results add to the literature base supporting the importance of preceptor continuity in undergraduate medical education.

It is important for hospitals to understand how hospitalizations for children are changing to adapt and best accommodate the future needs of all patient populations. This study aims to understand how hospitalizations for children with medical complexity (CMC) and non-CMC have changed over time at children's hospitals, and how hospitalizations for these children will look in the future. ⋯ The number of CCCs was associated with increased growth in discharges, hospital days, and costs. Understanding these trends can help hospitals better allocate resources and training to prepare for pediatric patients across the spectrum of complexity.
