Résumé
Pediatric residency programs offer many conferences and activities to meet the educational needs of their residents. We developed and assessed the Pediatric Chief Resident Exchange Program where pediatric chief residents visited another institution for a day with the goal of sharing educational and curricular innovations between residency programs in an experiential manner. Pediatric chief residents participated in various activities during the exchange including educational conferences and discussions with residency program leadership at the host institutions. Surveys were administered to all participating chiefs to determine if any changes to educational conferences or curriculum were made or planned to be made at their home program based upon what they observed at the other institution and to have chiefs reflect on what they gained from the experience. Twenty-eight chief residents from 9 programs participated in the exchange program over 3 academic years (2015-2018). All respondents felt the exchange experience was worthwhile. The majority (67%) of programs planned to implement a change at their institution based on participation in the exchange with over half actually making a change by the end of the academic year. Participating chiefs gained a sense of camaraderie, appreciated that other programs experienced similar struggles, and developed further insight into the chief resident role. The Pediatric Chief Resident Exchange Program is a novel method of sharing educational practices between institutions that can lead to curricular changes at participating programs. It can also be an opportunity for chief resident professional development.

BACKGROUND
Pediatric residency programs offer many conferences and activities to meet the educational needs of their residents. We developed and assessed the Pediatric Chief Resident Exchange Program where pediatric chief residents visited another institution for a day with the goal of sharing educational and curricular innovations between residency programs in an experiential manner.
APPROACH/INNOVATION
Pediatric chief residents participated in various activities during the exchange including educational conferences and discussions with residency program leadership at the host institutions. Surveys were administered to all participating chiefs to determine if any changes to educational conferences or curriculum were made or planned to be made at their home program based upon what they observed at the other institution and to have chiefs reflect on what they gained from the experience.
RESULTS
Twenty-eight chief residents from 9 programs participated in the exchange program over 3 academic years (2015-2018). All respondents felt the exchange experience was worthwhile. The majority (67%) of programs planned to implement a change at their institution based on participation in the exchange with over half actually making a change by the end of the academic year. Participating chiefs gained a sense of camaraderie, appreciated that other programs experienced similar struggles, and developed further insight into the chief resident role.
DISCUSSION
The Pediatric Chief Resident Exchange Program is a novel method of sharing educational practices between institutions that can lead to curricular changes at participating programs. It can also be an opportunity for chief resident professional development.
