4158—Teaching Clinical Ethics to Pediatric Residents Using a Case-Based Method
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader: Peter J. Smith, Chicago, IL; Co-leaders: Tracy K. Koogler, John Lantos, William L. Meadow, Lainie F. Ross

Many physicians use case-based teaching in the clinical setting, yet few have had formal training in how to perform such teaching. Lectures are filled with learning facts while case discussions promote critical thinking and analysis. This workshop will provide a brief overview of the application of case-based teaching strategies and techniques to the teaching of clinical ethics. The workshop leaders have lead a series of case-based seminars for the pediatric residents in their institution and hope that this session will allow the participants to (1) learn from their experience (the cases used will be handed out to all participants in the workshop), (2) begin to practice some of the techniques and strategies of case-based learning, especially for this unique topic and (3) to ask questions to the workshop leaders regarding "troubleshooting" problems that the participants have encountered in the teaching of clinical ethics. Participants are encouraged to bring concrete examples of their experience to share.

Objectives:

  1. To learn about a case-based method of teaching clinical ethics to residents.

  2. To practice the skills related to teaching via the case-based method through question-and-answer and role playing.

Method of Instruction: panel presentations, question-and-answer and case discussion role playing.

Target Audience: junior faculty, mid-level faculty, senior faculty

4874—Family-Centered Rounds: Overcoming Barriers To Get Back to the Bedside
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader: Stephen Muething, Cincinnati, OH; Co-leaders: William Brinkman, Jeffrey Simmons

At academic medical centers, it is common for attending physician rounds (patient presentations and rounds discussions) to occur in a conference room far removed from the patient and family. A recent AAP policy statement entitled, "Family-Centered Care and the Pediatrician's Role," calls for rounds of all hospitalized patients to occur at the bedside in the presence of the patient and family. 'Family-Centered Rounds' are meant to facilitate information sharing and encourage active family involvement in decision-making. Drawing on their own experience as well as on the Cincinnati Children's Hospital experience during the Robert Wood Johnson Pursuing Perfection Initiative, workshop participants will become familiar with the basic principles of family-centered care and will develop practical strategies for overcoming barriers to return rounds to the bedside.

Objectives:

  1. Participants will understand the basic principles of family-centered care in the inpatient setting.

  2. Participants will develop practical strategies to overcome barriers to delivering family-centered care at the bedside of the hospitalized patient.

Method of Instruction: small group discussion, didactic presentation, videotaped rounding vignettes, question and answer, and small group problem solving sessions.

Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty, mid-level faculty

5570—An Approach to the Teaching of Medical Ethics to Pediatric Residents
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader: Jennifer M. Cohn, Boston, MA; Co-leaders: Janet Hafler, Frederick Lovejoy, Robert J. Vinci

Pediatric residents care for complicated patients who provide fertile ground for the development of moral quandaries. Physician educators often struggle to help busy residents develop requisite skills and knowledge in this area of bioethics. This workshop aims to guide medical ethics teaching that is so essential to resident education.

After reviewing the ethics curriculum implemented in the Boston Combined Residency in Pediatrics, participants will identify challenges in ethics education, explore major principles in teaching bioethics and will practice the skills of vignette writing and case-based learning. Finally, the residency program directors will discuss the leadership challenges to implementing effective bioethics teaching and identify potential barriers to curriculum implementation.

Objectives:

  1. Explore some of the major principles in teaching bioethics and develop skills in case-based teaching and vignette writing.

  2. Identify possible barriers to implementation of a curriculum in bioethics and explore suggestions for institutional support.

Method of Instruction: Small group discussion sections for brainstorming and problem solving combined with larger group collaboration.

Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty, mid-level faculty, educators, physicians interested in ethics.
