Welcome to Peds Boot Camp!

Congratulations on your recent Match!!  We are excited to meet you all, hear where you are going for residency and share with you some of our experiences.

The boot camp will start on March 16^th at 10:00 with Sara Fear in the GME office.  After getting signed in with Sara and obtaining your badges, we will meet you in the GME office.

We hope you are as excited as we are to start this course.  We have an amazing group of instructors who are excited to teach and be a resource for you.  We want to reiterate, that the course is intended to be as interactive and hand-on as possible with the aim of exposing you to high yield situations that you will experience in residency.  We will be asking for your enthusiasm and participation in the sessions and will welcome your feedback throughout the course.

The schedule is included below. While the days will be packed with material, there is a good chance that we will be ending early on some days.  A few tips below:

• Parking is available off site at the Magnuson lot with shuttle service to and from SCH.
• We have set the schedule so that you may attend noon conference each day. Lunch is provided. Please be aware that there is not noon conference on Thursdays so please plan accordingly. There are several Starbucks in the hospital and a cafeteria if you want to pick something up here.
• We would ask that you bring your computers so that you can look stuff up while in your small groups.
• You can find the Seattle Children’s Survival Guides at  here.

We look forward to meeting you all soon.

Bekah & Jesse

Today we will be getting to know another and practicing pieces of the pediatric physical exam.

Schedule:

Pre-reading: None

Resources:

1. If you want to win jeopardy. review some basic orthopedics and dermatology.

Internship (and the rest of life) is stressful. We will start the morning with some time exploring reflection as one tool for wellness and learning.

We will spend the morning talking about the “controversies” around vaccines and discussing how to talk about them with skeptical parents. The afternoon will be spent thinking about bugs and the drugs that kill them.

Schedule:

Assignments:

Hi all. In preparation for tomorrow’s session, please research your assigned topic and prepare to share what you found with everyone.  Everyone will have about 7 minutes to share.  Also, come with the craziest thing you read on the internet about vaccines.  🙂

This morning we will hear about talking with teenagers and practice some of the questions and conversations that will be important in their care. Next you will learn about some tips and tricks for incorporating technology into your continued education and practice.

In the afternoon you will get the chance to hear the experts talk about all the advice you will soon be expected to share with parents.  Get ready to answer questions such as, “Should I sleep train my baby?”, “When and how do I toilet train?”, “Should I give my baby peanut butter?” and “What should I do about discipline?”  You will have the chance to discuss resources and recommendations that you have found…from Professional Society Guidelines to random weird websites.

Schedule:

• Discipline/Behavioral Concerns (when to start, time outs, spanking, positive parenting): Janelle and Kristen
• Toilet Training (expectations, signs of readiness, different approaches): Eva
