Traditional half-day per week continuity clinic experiences can lead to fragmented education in both the inpatient and outpatient arenas. Five pediatric residency programs were granted the ability from the ACGME to create X+Y scheduling where residents have continuity clinic in "blocks" rather than half-day per week experiences. The aim of this study is to assess the impact X+Y scheduling has on pediatric resident and faculty perceptions of patient care and other educational experiences.
