Session

Description: Three tracks with three sessions (90 minutes each). The sessions will focus on skill and knowledge acquisition to provide a comprehensive core curriculum for fellows that address areas of academic development identified in the American Board of Pediatrics Guidelines for Fellowship Training. The topics covered are appropriate for individuals at the fellowship level of training and provide a foundation for those who may not have had exposure to some required topics, as well as those who wish to pursue a topic in greater depth in the future. It is intended that these themes will repeat each year so individual curriculum can be created to complement education provided by local fellowship training programs. Certificates of completion will be available for participants.

Learning Objectives:

• The fellow will acquire skills to make them a more effective teacher.
• The fellow will become more familiar with identifying and avoiding common biostatistical errors in their research.
• The fellow will acquire negotiating skills that will allow them to succeed in their academic career.
