PGY1: Inpatient Pediatrics
Rotation Contacts:
Ed Paul MD, North Country HealthCare: epaul@nchcaz.org #: 928-522-9566
Description of Rotation and Educational Experience:
- This curricular component is the first of two inpatient pediatric clinical rotations designed to build clinical knowledge of the care for sick, hospitalized children.
- The resident will not complete continuity clinic during this rotation (or could they do 1-2 via telemedicine?).
Teaching Methods:
- Learners will be oriented to the goals/objectives, schedule, and expectations during their orientation block and at the beginning of the rotation.
- Learners will be taught through a mix of service-based experience, preceptor-led guidance and feedback, and didactic teaching from family medicine faculty.
- During the Inpatient Pediatrics block learners will attend regular Family Medicine didactic sessions via telehealth conferencing and will present a topic assigned to them.
Curriculum Goals:
- To provide NCHC Family Medicine residents with the clinical experience necessary to identify and initiate treatment of a sick child who may require hospitalization.
- To provide NCHC Family Medicine residents with the clinical experience necessary to give context to the inpatient experience of a sick child to better inform outpatient follow up and management beyond the hospitalization.
