Second Half Day: Longitudinal Educational Experience
As part of the Area of Concentration pursued in the HO2 and HO3 years, there is a longitudinal educational experience. This is a half day per week experience scheduled during elective months over the two years and amounts to approximately 36-40 half days. In the past this has been an opportunity to spend more time in the continuity clinic setting. Over the past few years, this has been expanded to consist of options including additional continuity experiences, an opportunity to work in an alternate primary care site, research experiences, and subspecialty clinics.

EBM
EBM
The goal our EBM curriculum is to provide the foundations for life-long learning and practice beyond residency. Each resident will participate in a series of three EBM sessions during the HO-2 and HO-3 years. In addition, there will be monthly resident-led Journal Clubs to help reinforce the concepts learned during didactic sessions.
Quality Improvement
Quality Improvement
During intern year each resident participates in a series of small group discussions with one of the QI mentors to learn the basics of quality improvement terminology and methods. Following this introduction, all residents are required to participate in an ongoing quality improvement project, or, create a project of their own. The quality improvement group meets monthly to discuss ongoing projects and process.
Procedures & Mock Codes
Procedures & Mock Codes
Our pediatric residents regularly participate in realistic, immersive simulation experiences in neonatal resuscitation, high-level trauma and management of critically ill patients. A procedural curriculum offers dedicated conference time for practicing required procedures with faculty instruction. “Mock Codes” require a team of residents to direct the resuscitation of a complicated patient from start to finish. After the encounter, debriefing and additional teaching is provided on an individualized basis. Through frequent practice, our residents are prepared to manage life threatening situations in the inpatient and intensive care units.
