Introduction
Welcome to the revised "Guide to Fellow Education & Lecture Formats for PCCM Fellowship Education at Cleveland Clinic Children’s." As faculty, our goal is to provide you a structured didactic curriculum so that you can excel at the bedside when you are going thru the process of managing critically ill children; we believe that the didactics will provide an active learning to achieving that goal.
Fellows
As we promote a more engaging didactic structure with faculty mentorship, here are some points we find helpful related to learning as you go thru the fellowship process:
- Foster an attitude of continuous, self-directed learning.
- Be reflective during your clinical time with a perspective on how to better shape your practice.
- Make neural links/integrations from material from didactics or simulation.
- Organize your knowledge in diagnostic & management schemas – think critical.
Curriculum Overview
These education sessions are presented asynchronously, designed to be interactive, and presented by guest faculty, staff, and you as fellows! You will be given no more than one didactic session per month to present (we will do our diligence to ensure this is not on service months).
They are designed to help you grow in critical care knowledge, and we ask that you be timely and productive in helping us achieve this initiative.
Best practices as you prepare for lectures: • Contact your assigned mentors with presentation ideas at least 10 days in advance. • Provide a draft of your presentation at least 3 days in advance for feedback. • Utilize off-service weeks to prepare for didactic sessions. • If there is a scheduling conflict, please reach out early & have a conversation with PD/APD.
Together, we can create effective presentations that match the pediatric critical care core content learning objectives and enhance the learning experience for everyone.
Lecture Formats
- We have four important formats of learning which drive our organ-systems based didactic curriculum:
- Case Conference
