- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: This is a prospective cluster randomized controlled trial of a novel educational intervention in pediatric and family medicine residents during the nursery rotation. In this study, we will enroll 1st year pediatric and family medicine residents and 3rd year supervising pediatric residents on their newborn nursery 4-week rotation and randomization will occur clustered by rotation month. The educational intervention will be conducted during the first week of the rotation. Both groups will complete pre-intervention survey that collects demographic information, personal infant feeding experiences, and any breastfeeding medicine experience. All participants will be invited to complete a free online course (Lactation Support in a Telehealth Setting Course) prior to the telemedicine intervention or control group discussion with the clinical pediatrician.Masking: Single (Outcomes Assessor)Masking Description: Outcomes are blinded to the assessor when completing the trial data analysis.Primary Purpose: Other

Establish that pediatric and family medicine residents who complete a novel breastfeeding medicine curriculum that includes an online unfolding case scenario along with telemedicine simulation with a standardized patient (SP) will provide timely, skilled lactation support more frequently than residents randomized to an online unfolding case scenario followed by traditional didactic breastfeeding case-presentation via videoconference. Establish that online learning via unfolding case scenario and telemedicine simulation with a SP will be feasible for family medicine and pediatric residents to complete during their newborn nursery rotation. Intern and third year residents completing their newborn nursery rotation at UC Davis Medical Center will be cluster-randomized by rotation month to receipt of breastfeeding education via telesimulation with standardized patient or traditional case-based learning via videoconferencing with pediatric faculty. The primary outcome of this study will be the translation of clinical lactation skills to the care of breastfeeding mothers and newborns. I hypothesize that pediatric and family medicine residents randomized to complete the telesimulation with SP will translate their acquired clinical lactation skills to the care of breastfeeding mothers and newborns at a greater rate than residents who complete a videoconference case-based traditional curriculum discussion with a newborn nursery pediatrician.
