Residents
We provide general pediatric inpatient education for pediatric
residents, family medicine residents, and medical students. The
traditional inpatient team consists of two senior residents, three
interns, a sub-intern, and several medical students. The team is
also supported by a dedicated social worker, pharmacist, and a team
coordinator. Attendings conduct family-centered rounds each morning
and provide bedside teaching with the team. Additional teaching
opportunities occur throughout the day at noon didactics, with
newly admitted patients, through case-based discussions and further
patient-centered didactics, or through board review questions.
Hospitalists also enhance learning for the overnight resident team
through a newly developed nighttime curriculum consisting of short
didactics, case-based discussions, and review of interesting
patients currently admitted to the hospital. Find out more about
the Residency Program.
Core Attending Group
The core attendings are a group of hospitalist educators who
focus on teaching medical students and residents in the inpatient
clinical setting. The core attendings serve as the inpatient
teaching attending for residents and students for a minimum of six,
one-week blocks per academic year. The attendings are also
encouraged to be innovators in clinical education. They participate
in didactics to broaden their depth of knowledge in the area of
clinical education. Each attending actively participates in a
scholarly project with an educational focus. The core attendings
meet on the second Tuesday of each month to discuss their current
and future activities. The Director of the Core Attendings leads
these meetings and meets with GME as needed to ensure that the core
attendings are meeting the teaching requirements as outlined by GME
and the ACGME.
Pediatric Hospital Medicine Elective
This elective will provide the medical student an opportunity
for in-depth exposure to inpatient pediatrics and development
of advanced pediatric inpatient clinical acumen and management
skills. A strong emphasis will be placed on direct medical care of
hospitalized patients with supervision from a dedicated group of
hospitalist physician mentors. This experience will be augmented
with interactive didactics and exposure to other relevant pediatric
hospital medicine experiences, including medical transport, wound
care and family-centered teaching rounds.
Medical Students
Our faculty also provides didactic lectures to students,
residency programs, regional hospitals and national
conferences.
We offer medical students an elective
in Pediatric Hospital Medicine.
