2410—Like Water from Stone: Time Management
Essentials for Academic Pediatricians
PAS Educational Workshop
Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 13, SF Marriott
Leader: Hema Patel, Montreal, PQ, Canada; Co-leader: Saleem
Razack
Target Audience: Trainees,
fellows, and junior faculty.
Who needs more time? In this
workshop, you will see that time management is a behavior
issue, not actually a time issue. Improving the efficiency of
your available time will improve your productivity. Practical
tips on time management will be discussed in this workshop.
Using interactive techniques, participants will learn about
the theories of time management and develop specific tools to:
organize the day (calendar/agenda basics), run a meeting
effectively, organize the office (including tips on email
overload and frequent interruptions). Strategies to minimize
procrastination will be discussed. We will borrow tried and
true principles from the business world and demonstrate some
everyday applications for busy academic pediatricians.
Objectives:
– To provide the organizational
knowledge needed to manage time effectively
– To describe specific strategies (tools) for optimal time
utilization
Format: Participant interaction
will be essential in this workshop. Participants will do
self-assessment quizzes, small group problem-solving and have
a chance to try out suggested strategies (e.g., prioritizing)
for time management. Multiple interactive techniques will be
used including: roundtable discussion, break-out groups,
problem-solving and buzz groups.
11:45am–2:45pm

Private Practice Hat
PAS Educational Workshop
Golden Gate Hall A3, SF Marriott
Leader: Elaine Schulte, Albany, NY; Co-leaders: Linda Domovich,
Maryellen Gusic
Target Audience: Mid-level
faculty and senior faculty.
Unfortunately, most academic
providers have little or no training in the business of
medicine, nor do their institutions offer professional
development in this realm.
During this workshop we will put
on our private practice hats, and study two models of
successful, combined resident and faculty pediatric practices.
Through case-based, large group discussion, participants will
learn how to: 1) understand productivity standards and
financial reports, 2) teach billing and compliance to
learners, 3) manage staffing needs; determine the appropriate
provider-to-nurse ratio, optimize room utilization, maintain
morale, address reporting structure, 4) provide continuity of
care in an academic practice, including managing schedules of
30+ providers, and 5) successfully market their practice.
Workshop leaders will share information as well as tools
participants can use in their home institutions.
Objectives:
– Participants will better
understand the business aspect of operating an outpatient
general academic pediatric office.
– Participants will develop skills to address many
challenges in office practice.
Format: Large and small group
discussions, case-based problem solving.

Recruiting & Staffing
Pediatric Emergency Departments in 2006
This session will explore the
very timely issues related to recruiting and staffing a
pediatric emergency department (PED) in 2006. Using a
diversified panel of experts this two-part discussion will
explore first the issues related to recruiting PEM faculty and

The contribution of research
regarding children is measured in its ability to improve
children's health and well being. Research findings that
contribute to public policy efforts have the potential to
improve the lives and well being of whole communities, states
and nations of children. Understanding the nature and
appreciating the role of such work is fundamentally important
for clinicians and researchers alike.

readily available information on the process of interviewing
and negotiating for faculty appointment in academic medicine.
This workshop discusses the standard procedures used when
applying and interviewing for a faculty position in academic
medicine. From the submission of the resume to the negotiation
of the offer package, this workshop will serve as a practical
guide to trainees, fellows and junior faculty wishing to
secure a position in academic medicine. Through the
presentation of material, discussion, and role-playing,
participants will become familiar with the processes involved
in the application and negotiation process for a faculty
position.
Objectives:
– Ability to negotiate for a
faculty position
– Knowledge of standard procedures for the interview process

4100—Making Pediatrics Family Friendly
PAS/APPD Topic Symposium
Room 2003-2007, Moscone West
Chairs: Carol D. Berkowitz, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center,
Torrance, CA; and Richard E. Behrman, Federation of Pediatric
Organizations, Inc., Menlo Park, CA
Target Audience: Pediatric
clerkship directors, residency program directors, fellowship
directors and division chiefs and department chairs, as well
as those in training or faculty interested in a
family-friendly environment.
The Federation of Pediatric
Organizations (FOPO) released its Report of the Task Force on
Women in Pediatrics in April 2005. The report recommends
structural and functional changes in academic pediatrics so
that family balance is possible during all stages of training.
Specific steps to achieve this goal were outlined from medical
student training up through senior pediatric faculty. It has
been proposed that information should be collected from
medical schools and training programs so that they can be
rated as “family-friendly” in a manner analogous to
Fortune 500 companies. Issues related to a family-friendly
environment include flexible training and work schedules;
provision of sufficient leave for maternity/paternity and
eldercare; resources for childcare, after-school and lactation
facilities; and extension of timelines for tenure and
extramural funding.
