Maslow defines self-actualization as the “desire for self-fulfillment….to become everything that one is capable of becoming.”2 The pandemic challenged traditional modes of education, but also offered opportunity to innovate. Both ACGME and American Board of Pediatrics responded by waiving some curricular requirements, especially for graduating trainees. However, program leaders are still responsible to ensure proficiency despite abbreviated training. Trainees have lost opportunities to network locally and nationally and participate in experiences that might be formative for their career choices. Association of Pediatric Program Directors and Council of Pediatric Subspecialties provide networking opportunities. In addition, consider developing virtual career mentoring and creating additional opportunities for trainees. Ensure adequate mentorship and help trainees build their curriculum vitae (eg, including abstracts accepted but not presented at national meetings). Development of new curricula to address changing educational and health care landscapes (eg, distance learning and mentoring, telehealth) have the potential to positively transform trainee experience.
