Welcome to Peds Boot Camp!

We are excited to meet you all, learn where you will be heading for residency and share with you some of our experiences.

The boot camp will start on February 28th at 09:00 in person in the GME conference room on Ocean 7 at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

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:

• Simulation session will be at UW WISH (Monday 3/07)
• We have set the schedule so that you may (remotely) attend noon conference each day.12:30-1:30P Resident and Student Conference (Monday through Friday):

Schedule:

Pre-reading: None

Resources:

1. AAP otitis media guidelines
2. SNAPSHOTS_Developmental_Milestones_Chart_UPDATED_Aug_2014

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.

For the remainder of the day we will be focusing on clinical reasoning, organization and communication skills necessary for life on the wards: developing assessments and plans, figuring out how to create and prioritize a to-do list, answering pages and giving handoffs. It will be a packed day, just like a day in the life of an intern!

We will be meeting at the Sand Point Learning Center- Magnolia Room

Schedule:

Pre-reading:

1. “Collaboration between hospital physicians and nurses: An integrated literature review” by Tang C

4. “Patient handoffs: Pediatric resident experiences and lessons learned” by McSweeney M

Watch the brief videos below and reflect on the where communication went well and where there was opportunity for improvement. (Yes, the acting is Oscar worthy.)

The morning will be spent talking about the “controversies” around vaccines and discussing how to talk about them with skeptical and concerned  parents. 

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.
