Saturday, MAY 14

8:00am–11:00am
4175—Hospital Medicine
APA Special Interest Group
Chair: Daniel Rauch, rauch@aecom.yu.edu

The Hospital Medicine SIG provides an opportunity for providers dedicated to the care of hospitalized patients to discuss the latest updates in research, education and program development.  Now in our fourth year, this year’s meeting promises to be another exciting and interactive session.

Our agenda will include:

  • Updates from the previous year in Pediatric Hospital Medicine

  • Presentation/discussion on Disaster Preparedness by our colleagues from Florida

  • Poster session

  • Small group discussion groups that will focus on research (including an update on the PRIS network) and education.

  • Latest updates on the Pediatric Hospital Medicine 2005 Conference in Denver this summer

We are also excited to have the Pediatric Resident SIG join us for a joint discussion on the role of Pediatric Hospitalists in residency education and career planning for those interested in Pediatric Hospital Medicine.

4878—Medical Simulation Technology—What Is It and What Can It Do for You?
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader: Joseph O. Lopreiato, Bethesda, MD; Co-leaders: Michael Fitzgerald, Hilary M. Haftel, Mary D. Patterson

Medical simulation technology is a rapidly expanding area of education in medicine. This expansion is due in part to an expectation that training programs will assess and document clinical skills over a wide range of competencies. Many medical schools and some residency programs are using simulation technologies to assess clinical skills, professionalism, information gathering, communication and trauma/resuscitation skills. This workshop is designed for medical professionals involved in the education of medical students, residents and fellows. It is directed to those with an interest in the educational potential of simulation technology and will also be useful for those interested in learning about the practical aspects of simulator program development.

Objectives:

  1. Be able to describe the capabilities and optimal applications of the various types of medical simulation in the pediatric environment.

  2. Understand the elements required to develop and sustain a successful program including issues of personnel, utilization and financing.

Method of Instruction: Minilectures and demonstrations will be used to introduce participants to the full range of simulation technology including standardized patients, mechanical simulators and computer-based virtual reality; videos and DVDs, as well as actual simulation technology, will be used as feasible. This will serve as a springboard for discussion of the practical aspects of a patient simulator program. Large and small group activities will explore how these technologies may be utilized in assessing clinical skills, evaluating competencies and evaluating the progress of trainees. We will also address the elements required to develop and sustain a successful simulation program including issues of personnel, utilization and financing. Hands-on demonstrations of hardware and software elements used in simulation will allow participants to judge which simulation technologies would best serve their needs.

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

7214—Using After-Hours Hospitalists To Observe Residents in Action: A Workshop in Observation, Feedback and Competency Evaluation
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader: Kenneth Pituch, Ann Arbor, MI; Co-leaders: Erin Brackbill, Jonathan Fliegel, Jennifer Meyers, John Schmidt

Since developing an extended-hours service, members of the University of Michigan Pediatric Hospitalist Program have been using evening and night-time admissions to observe house staff "in action," as they admit pediatric patients to the ward service. Through videotaped clinical vignettes and role playing, workshop participants will learn and practice techniques used to observe, give feedback and evaluate competency in interview skills, examination skills and problem-solving skills. In small groups, participants can focus on one of the following areas: (1) Developing faculty in techniques of observation and feedback, (2) developing an evening hospitalist program with time and support for education and (3) evaluating the competency assessment process—research questions and opportunities for clinical scholar-educators.

Objectives:

  1. Participants will learn an observation and feedback technique.

  2. Participants will identify and learn ways to improve observation, feedback and competency evaluation at their own programs.

Method of Instruction: Videotaped and role-played clinical encounters, small and large group discussions.

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