3240—Manuscript Preparation and the Process of Peer-Reviewed Publication
PAS Educational Workshop
Willow, SF Marriott
Leader: Stephen Daniels, Denver, CO; Co-leaders: Thomas Welch, Robert Wilmott, Sarah Long

Target Audience: Trainees, fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty, senior faculty, community practitioners.

This interactive workshop will address multiple aspects of publication in scientific journals and provides insights from editors of The Journal of Pediatrics on the publication process. Presenters will discuss preparation of materials, including the initial decision that the data are sufficient to justify publication. Issues related to manuscript writing will include length, focus, adherence to journal formats, and referencing. The editorial process, from submission to publication, will be described in depth, with particular attention to ways in which authors can interact with journal editors. Another section of the workshop will cover ethical issues in publication including review boards, authorship, duplicate publication, intellectual property rights, and conflict of interest. There will be open discussion of sample cases and questions derived from the experiences of the participants.

Objectives: 

– To learn about preparing and submitting work for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
– To discuss ethical issues related to publication of research and clinical work.
– To have the opportunity to ask and have answered questions about publication and to offer insights.

Format: Open discussion, question-and-answer.

Designed to meet elements of the core curriculum for pediatric fellowship subspecialty training.

8:00am–11:00am
3254—Literacy Development Programs in Primary Care
APA Special Interest Group
Pacific Suite H, SF Marriott
Chairs: Robert Needlman, robert.needlman@case.edu; and Perri Klass, perri.klass@bmc.org.

Support for early literacy development is increasingly viewed as an integral part of primary care pediatrics. Most pediatric training programs and many other clinics and offices have incorporated the Reach Out and Read (ROR) intervention model. The Literacy Development SIG provides a forum for academically minded clinicians to exchange information and questions about the various aspects of the intervention, including training, implementation, fund-raising, assessment and program innovation. Colleagues who have research projects in any stage of development are encouraged to present. In the past, the SIG has given rise to one multisite study and could do so again. Many SIG members will have attended the ROR National Conference immediately preceding the PAS meeting and will come prepared with questions and insights. Those who did not participate in the larger conference, or who are merely curious, are also welcome.

4228—New Resources for Teaching Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
PAS Educational Workshop
Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 11, SF Marriott
Leader: Steven Parker, Boston, MA

Target Audience: Fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty, senior faculty, and community practitioners.

The Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center has created two DVDs entitled: "Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics: Training Modules for Clinical Issues in Primary Care."

These DVDs are intended to enhance the teacher's ability to provide trainees with engaging and stimulating DBP training experiences and focus on 24 DBP issues during the first 5 years, including: language delays, social-emotional issues, temperament, developmental surveillance in primary care, developmental delays, active children, giving bad news, toilet training, enuresis, and encopresis, discipline, drugs/alcohol, cigarettes.

In this interactive workshop, we will introduce these unique training tools, and model how they can be used to teach DBP. At the conclusion of the workshop, each participant will receive a free set of the DVDs to use in their teaching.

Objective:

– Become familiarized with the use of new DVD training modules in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.

Format: Interactive presentation. Will discuss the intent and format of the DVDs, and then model their use as a training resource.
