Reflections from PHM 2025
Tran's article reflects on the 2025 Pediatric Hospital Medicine conference, emphasizing that the “magic” in pediatric care lies in the meaningful, everyday work and strong professional community rather than dramatic breakthroughs.

The magic we were asked to find was the meaningful work already happening in our daily practice.
