The following is the winning submission from the fifth annual Section on Pediatric Trainees Monthly Feature essay competition. For this year's competition, we asked trainees to reflect on and share how their unique identity, or identities, informs their advocacy work on behalf of children and families. We asked writers to consider how their personal histories and backgrounds, including sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, geographic area, and life experiences improve equity in pediatric health care. We were impressed by the broad variety of important topics addressed in the pieces submitted by trainees from around the country. The winning essay by Dr Haleigh Prather highlights her experiences as a Hispanic woman raised by a single, working-class mother; the obstacles that she faced in her life and how she surmounted them; and how her strength and resilience shaped her approach to health care delivery. In this piece, she underscores how the lessons learned by trainees from challenges in their own lives promote advocacy for the health and welfare of patients.
以下是第五届儿科住院医师每月专题文章竞赛的获奖作品。今年的竞赛要求住院医师反思并分享他们独特的身份或身份如何促使他们代表儿童和家庭进行宣传工作。我们要求作者考虑他们的个人历史和背景，包括性别、性取向、种族、民族、宗教、地理位置和生活经历，如何提高儿科医疗保健的公平性。我们对全国各地住院医师提交的作品中涉及的广泛重要主题印象深刻。哈蕾·普拉瑟博士的获奖文章强调了她作为一名西班牙裔女性在单身工人阶级母亲抚养下的成长经历；她在生活中所面临的障碍以及她是如何克服这些障碍的；她的力量和韧性如何塑造了她的医疗服务提供方式。在这篇文章中，她强调了住院医师从自己生活中的挑战中吸取的经验教训如何促进对患者健康和福利的宣传。
