Curriculum: |
|
|
The
curriculum is intended to build upon basic experiences
with increasing challenges as training proceeds. Specialty
rotations and electives have been built into the curriculum
to promote self-assessment of knowledge and PG selection
of rotations in areas needing to be strengthened. |

In
addition to the above designated rotations, PG spend
one half day in their own continuity practice. PG are
assigned to a small practice located in the outpatient
center with 2-3 other residents of varying levels of
training and a general pediatrics faculty member. The
practices, for the most part, remain intact for the
two years of training, allowing PG's to build a practice
and follow children longitudinally over a two -year
period of time. |

Conferences: |
|
|
To
complement the teaching in the scheduled rotations,
a core curriculum has been developed in the form of
noon conferences. These conferences occur daily and
are given primarily by the fulltime faculty. Windsor
offers a "crash course", mainly targeted to review many
pediatric emergencies which they may potentially face
during the course of their DM program. |
|
|
Each
morning begins with a conference. Four days a week we
have morning report and once a week we offer grand rounds.
Morning report is a dynamic, case-based, teaching conference
organized by senior PG. Cases are presented, in an interactive
manner, followed by generation of problem lists and
differential diagnoses. The presenting PG ends the conference
with a mini-didactic session on the patient's diagnosed
problem. Finally, several Fridays per month, the NICU
team presents an interesting case for discussion and
teaching. |
|
|
Grand
rounds occur on Tuesday mornings. In addition to Windsor
faculty many guest faculty also give grand rounds, several
as named visiting professors. When we have guest faculty
and visiting professors, they are involved in making
inpatient rounds and providing additional teaching for
the PG's and students. |
