Videotape Analysis

Taking an adequate history and competently examining a patient remain essential prerequisites for making a diagnosis. Four 5th year medical students who had completed 18 months of clinical teaching were assessed at the start and end of their ten-week paediatric term and compared with 4 experienced consultants. A videorecording was made of each patient encounter. The students’ history was often incomplete, at times inaccurate and imprecise, despite earlier provision of a framework to obtain the necessary information. The students spent a great proportion of their time examining the child, yet their findings were questionable particularly if the child was uncooperative. The second recording made at the end of the student's paediatric term revealed a general improvement in their confidence and knowledge, though similar deficiencies were observed. The consultants, as expected, did better. They also showed a greater awareness of understanding the child within the context of his family. They spent more time interviewing the parent and child, offered a fuller explanation of the diagnosis and carefully reviewed the management. These findings further emphasize the need to improve and assess the clinical performance of students.

Children First

There has been an increased focus on diversity and inclusion in medicine in recent years—the field of medicine still has a long way to go to reach gender equity. We assess how paediatrics is performing by examining the role gender plays in our specialty; and we propose some practical solutions to reach an equitable state. Achieving gender equity is not a simple or easy option and will require an ongoing commitment from all facets of the profession.

Healthy Growth

This article argues that the poor state of paediatric medicine in India still restrains and often prevents the healthy development of far too many young Indians. Infants as junior-most citizens deserve diligent care, as they have legal entitlements to specialised medical services, ensuring their survival and healthy growth, ultimately for the benefit of the entire nation. The article first traces the somewhat stunted colonial institutional development of paediatric medicine in India. It then proceeds to perform a critical analysis of the continuing harm of negligence concerning the health and upbringing of India’s vulnerable infants, challenging the state to become more committed to integrated child development.
