Department of Pediatrics Grand Rounds are Thursday from 8am to 9am, via ZOOM. If this overlaps the start of a clinic for you, please discuss timing with your preceptor.
Point of Contact: devpeds@ualberta.ca (the administrative assistant for the division of Developmental Pediatrics)
Every Tuesday from 12-1:00pm, we meet as a division via ZOOM. Feel free to eat your lunch during this time! Most weeks, there is a learning topic open for all residents and medical students to attend. 1-2 sessions per month are division or program meetings, which learners and residents will not be asked to attend. Click the link above (title) for the schedule of upcoming topics.
After attending any of these Tuesday learning sessions, we would be very grateful if you would complete an evaluation form in One45. You will receive an email stating that you have an item to complete on One45. Once you enter in your attendance you will be able to complete the anonymous evaluation.
If you are presenting... thank you! We look forward to learning with you.
During the Physiatry core rotation in Pediatric Physiatry, senior residents are invited to present a topic of their choosing (to be discussed with your rotation preceptor). These are about 45 minute sessions, in which we welcome interactive, case-based approaches to learning.
How to choose a topic for your rounds presentation:
We would like you to chose a topic related to developmental-behavioural pediatrics and/or pediatric rehabilitation medicine
We encourage you to chose a topic which meets your own learning needs.
Your topic could be a review of the approach to a broad area, or a more specific clinical question including in response to a clinical case.
We encourage you to seek out evidence based information to inform you presentation.

Senior Presentation Mentors & Topics
How to prepare your presentation and when to plan:
You could begin planning your topic as early as you wish. You are encouraged to discuss your topic with your rotation coordinator at your entrance interview and choose a mentor with whom you can discuss your topic or article choices. This will help you be more prepared for your presentation.
Learning Objectives should refer to what the participants will have accomplished by the end of the presentation. For example, "By the end of this session, the participant will be able to ... " Then, think about how to teach so people walk away with ACTIVE words achieved -- like they will be able to "apply" reasoning, "compare" outcomes, "evaluate" treatment options, "advise" parents, etc.
Communicating the title and objectives in a timely manner:
Please submit your title and three objectives (minimum) to devpeds@ualberta.ca a week prior to your presentation.
Some general information about these rounds:
Typically we have approximately 15 people attend, including attendings, residents, fellows and medical students
If it is not provided to you directly within a week or two after presentation, please feel free to request a copy of your presentation feedback from you rotation preceptor (complied from One45).

The room has a smart board and you can use your AHS login to use this. If you are using audiovisual supports, please either send yourself your presentation by email or have it ready on a memory stick to access it.
You may bring your own laptop (Mac or PC) and hook your laptop up to the screen. We have a Mac adaptor--please ask in advance for it to be brought to the room if you will need it.
