Clinical Training
Clinical training experiences are designed to expand inpatient clinical skills as well as bedside teaching skills for a wide range of learners. Clinical training focuses on leading an interdisciplinary team with the focus on the highest quality evidence based care. Fellows will work with a broad patient base with significant experience managing complex care patients in addition to routine pediatric medical problems. Through family centered rounds and consultation with our other pediatric subspecialists our fellows build the skills needed to excel in relationship and team based care. There is a focus on graduated autonomy for our fellows in a variety of clinical settings. Service is provided across all our clinical sites. Clinical experiences include:
- Dedicated service time on our hospitalist teaching service with graduated autonomy
- Rotations on our community hospitalist non-teaching service
- Night coverage on our hospitalist teaching service
- Pediatric sedation
- Newborn nursery
- Co-fellow in the PICU with a focus on assessing and stabilizing the critically ill child
- Surgical co-management experience
- Comprehensive care patient experience
- Palliative care experience
