Workshop

Description: Scholarly activity is an important aspect of pediatric subspecialty fellow training, required for subspecialty certification by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) and a core component of fellowship curriculum as directed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Various challenges and barriers exist for fellowship programs in promoting meaningful scholarly activity including time, mentorship, and research resources that are not unique to any one subspecialty fellowship. A thoughtful and structured approach is needed by fellowship programs to overcome the obstacles and support individual fellow’s research goals.

The session begins with a brief an overview of ABP and ACGME requirements for fellow scholarly activity. An interactive discussion through large group and small group discussions of common challenges and potential solutions with examples of successful interventions provided by the workshop leads will promote group sharing of best practices. Participants will finish by completing an action plan to address one current barrier to successful scholarly activity that can be implemented at their institution.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss common barriers for fellowship programs related to fellow scholarly activity
Generate creative solutions to challenges faced by fellowship programs in supporting fellow scholarly activity
Develop an action plan to address a current barrier to successful fellow scholarly activity
