4104—Pediatricians
and Oral Health: Science, Education, Practice and Policy
PAS Mini Course
Chair:
David M. Krol, The Children's Health Fund, New York, NY
Oral health is an integral part of overall health. In
spite of improvements in the oral health of U.S. children
over the past 25 years, significant and consequential
disparities in oral health exist. Dental caries, a
preventable, infectious disease process that begins in
early childhood, disproportionately affects poor and
minority children. Proven prevention strategies, changes
in organizational policy and the challenge of providing a
true medical home present pediatricians with an
opportunity to play a role in improving child oral health.
This session will begin with an overview of the
epidemiology of childhood oral disease, the science of
dental caries and the knowledge base of physicians. Next,
educational efforts and practical intervention strategies
will be discussed. Finally, child oral health policy and
advocacy issues will be presented. After each
presentation, an audience discussion will take place to
strategize how best to approach the inclusion of oral
health and improve the communication of oral health issues
within the pediatric profession, between the medical and
dental worlds and among policymakers.
Target Audience: Appeal will be to pediatricians in
practice, policy, advocacy and education interested in
expanding the knowledge of themselves, their students,
policymakers and professional organizations on the
importance of child oral health and the policy, practice
and educational issues surrounding the role of
pediatricians in its improvement.

4153—Developmental
Care (DC) in the Newborn Nursery—An Interactive Workshop
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Juzer M. Tyebkhan, Edmonton, AB, Canada; Co-leader:
Leonora Hendson
Understand what developmental care (DC) really is,
why it is beneficial for preterm infants and how to
practically implement it in your nursery. This is an
interactive workshop that will answer the frequently asked
question, "Exactly what should we do DIFFERENTLY if
we use DC to care for preterm infants?" The workshop
will include a quiz (informal and entertaining), video
demonstrations of DC at the bedside compared with
traditional (non-developmental) care, a slide show/video
showing how a routine NICU procedure (extubation) can be
made family-centered, behaviourally guided and
developmentally friendly. Participants will be actively
involved and will take home at least three practical
points that will help them implement DC in their
nurseries.
Objectives:
-
Participants will know the scientific basis for
developmental care and the evidence supporting its
use.
-
Participants will take back at least three practical
points that will allow them to implement developmental
care in their nurseries.
Method of Instruction: (1) Introduction; (2) quiz
(informal, interactive and entertaining): the scientific
background, and current evidence for DC (Powerpoint
presentation); (3) "hands-on" practice with
behavioural observation, as a framework for implementing
DC; (4) video demonstrations of DC at tbe bedside compared
with traditional (non-developmental) care, and of infant
behavioural responses; (5) Slide show/video, "Family
centered, behaviourally guided and developmentally
friendly extubation": How to make the change from
traditional, procedure-based care to developmental,
family-centered care using a practical example—the
extubation of a preterm infant; (6) Participant input: How
can we really become "Family Centered" in the
NICU?; (7) Roundtable discussion: Overcoming the obstacles
to implementing DC in the nursery; (8) Summing up.
Handouts, summarizing the workshop, with reference list
will be provided. A "Developmental Survival
Card" will be given to all participants.
Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty, mid-level
faculty, all disciplines that work in neonatal nurseries

of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Prevention of Obesity in
Children and Youth: Recommendations and Assessment
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Thomas N. Robinson, Stanford, CA; Co-leaders: Dennis M.
Bier, Vivica I. Kraak
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on
Prevention of Obesity in Children and Youth is charged
with assessing the nature of obesity in children and youth
in the United States and developing a prevention-oriented
action plan to reduce its prevalence. A summary of the
report's findings and recommendations will be presented
with a focus on public health approaches that promote
energy balance by integrating diet and physical activity
interventions at home, schools, medical care settings and
in communities. Discussion and question-and-answer
sessions with members of the Committee will address
responses to the recommendations and public and policy
reactions after the initial release. Participants will
then create an individual action plan to advocate for
their choices of specific recommendations.
Objectives:
-
Participants will become familiar with the concept of
energy balance and be able to identify factors that
contribute to obesogenic environments and promising
public health approaches that support obesity
prevention in children and youth.
-
Participants will develop a personal plan of action
for implementing specific IOM recommendations when
they return home from the meeting.
Method of Instruction: Brief presentation of
highlighted IOM Committee results followed by (a)
question-and-answer, (b) group discussion, and (c)
development of action plans.

4159—Teaching
Otoscopy Skills: New Technologies To Bring Otoscopy Out of
the "Black Box"
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Woodson S. Jones, Bethesda, MD; Co-leaders: Christine L.
Johnson, Phillip H. Kaleida, Jeffrey L. Longacre
Recent studies, including research by the workshop
presenters, have identified wide variation in otoscopic
diagnostic skills in both pediatricians and pediatric
residents. Traditionally, teaching of otoscopic skills has
relied primarily on repetitive examinations accompanied by
didactic sessions, with limited supervision of learners'
assessment of the contents of the "Black Box" at
the end of the ear canal. This workshop will present and
allow participants an opportunity to operate new
technologies (e.g., video otoscope systems) that enhance
both teaching and assessment of otoscopic skills.
Participants will also learn about other resources
(videos/CDs, web-based tools, diagnostic adjuncts,
tympanograms, etc.) for teaching and assessment of
otoscopic skills and how each may be integrated into
medical training.
Objectives:
-
Participants will acquire knowledge and skills to
utilize new teaching technologies, including a video
otoscopic system.
-
Participants will acquire knowledge necessary to
develop and incorporate new otoscopic teaching
approaches in their respective training programs.
Method of Instruction: Several teaching strategies,
to include didactics, hands-on experience with equipment
(e.g., video otoscopic systems, tympanograms) and
roundtable discussions.
Target Audience: Junior faculty, mid-level faculty,
senior faculty

PAS/IPHA Topic Symposium
Chairs:
Elaine Urbina, Children's Hospital Medical Center,
Cincinnati, OH; and Luc Brion, Montefiore Medical Center,
Bronx, NY
Hypertension is found in up to 2% of term or preterm
neonates. The prevalence is difficult to ascertain
precisely since the definition of hypertension in this age
group has not been completely standardized. However,
recent studies have provided normative data that may be
useful in identifying these infants. This symposium will
examine key aspects of the diagnosis of hypertension in
the neonate including measurement and instrumentation
issues and normal values. Pre- and post-natal risk factors
for the development of neonatal hypertension will be
addressed along with treatment options. Perinatal
programming for future cardiovascular disease will also be
addressed.
Target Audience: Neonatologists, pediatric
nephrologists, pediatric cardiologists, general
pediatricians

in Neonatal/Pediatric Nutrition Support
PAS Mini Course
Chair:
Michael Narkewicz, Children's Hospital, Denver, CO; and
Mark Corkins, Riley Hospital for Children and Indiana
University, Indianapolis, IN
Nutrition is critical to the normal growth and
development of children. Our ability to supply nutrition
to ill infants has increased dramatically in the last half
of the twentieth century with the development of
parenteral nutrition (TPN) and commercially prepared
formulas. This advanced technology has also presented us
with new knowledge as new nutritional deficiencies were
discovered in patients on long-term TPN. The new
technology has also created new risks associated with the
supply of this nutrition. This session will explore some
of the micronutrients necessary in infant TPN and some of
the potential toxicities. The potential risks and new
information concerning enteral formulas for use in infants
will be presented.
Target Audience: Clinicians involved in the care of
ill infants that require nutrition support beyond standard
feedings.

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

Pediatrics in Practice, a Bright Futures-based health
promotion curriculum designed for pediatric training
programs to support educators and clinicians to
communicate health-promoting messages to families and
children, was created by the Bright Futures Health
Promotion Workgroup. Dramatic changes are taking place in
today's health care environment, and this curriculum
provides an opportunity to advance and foster ACGME-recommended
competencies for future health professionals. www.PediatricsinPractice.org
helps residents gain knowledge and skills teaching health
content (partnership, communication, health promotion,
time management, education and advocacy) to their learners
to facilitate effective patient interaction and care.
Child health educators new to or developing skills in
teaching health promotion content will learn to
effectively convey this content utilizing proven teaching
strategies (brainstorming, reflective exercise, buzz
group, case discussion, mini-presentation, role play).
Objectives:
-
Familiarize participants with an innovative paper-
and web-based ( www.pediatricsinpractice.org)
health promotion curriculum for maternal and child
health training.

PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Diane Kittredge, Lebanon, NH; Co-leaders: Constance D.
Baldwin, Miriam Bar-on, Patricia S. Beach, R. Franklin
Trimm
This workshop will help pediatric educators use the
APA Educational Guidelines website to create resident
evaluation systems that are consistent with anticipated
new RRC requirements. The workshop will first address
evaluation systems planning: selection of appropriate
methods and processes across a residency program. Small
groups will adapt evaluation planning documents from the
Guidelines. Next the team will discuss the key features of
sound evaluation forms, and small groups will review and
adapt selected evaluation forms to meet the needs of a
typical program. Finally, participants will brainstorm
about implementation challenges, and the presenters will
discuss process issues in evaluation, including teaching
residents and faculty to use a program's evaluation system
and conducting quality improvement studies of one's
system. A summary of recommendations will be shared.
Objectives:
-
Describe the qualities of a well-balanced evaluation
system for a residency program, including use of
methods suitable for a learning setting, multiple
evaluators, recurrent feedback processes and sound
evaluation forms.
-
Discuss the challenges of implementing such a system,
including the need for methods development,
orientation of residents and development of faculty
and continuous quality improvement of the evaluation
system.
Method of Instruction: Computer demonstration,

Children’s Hospital, University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, Canada
Moderate-to-severe GERD in the premature infant,
newborn and child presents challenging diagnostic and
therapeutic issues to a neonatologist, pediatrician,
gastroenterologist and surgeon. First, new information on
the epidemiology, pathophysiology and genetics will be
presented. Second, new modes of diagnostic testing (e.g.,
impedance monitoring) will be reviewed along with
extra-esophageal manifestations of GERD. Third, the pros
and cons of medical, endoscopic (e.g., radiofrequency,
ablation suturing) and surgical therapy will be discussed.
Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians involved
with premature newborns, infants and children with
difficult to manage moderate-to-severe reflux, suffering
from extra-esophageal complications.
