Also, a reminder to send in the results of the tests from your site. Some of you should have received a packet from Ms. Dehn by now with complete analysis of your site's performance. If you have reported your results but not received the analysis yet, do let us know. Ms. Dehn has put in an incredible amount of hard work in analyzing the tests and the committee wishes to extend its appreciation for her diligence and commitment to this endeavor. This committee operates under the auspices of the Society of Critical Care Medicine to help develop, coordinate and implement educational aspects of training in critical care in pediatric residency programs.
Membership is open to all teaching programs.
As pediatric critical care becomes more complex, we intend to maintain the focus of resident education on the fundamental concepts of critical illness and injury. The goals of resident education in critical care should emphasize early recognition, stabilization, and ongoing management of a critically ill child. It should also emphasize the understanding of complex cases, the interaction with other disciplines, and the psychosocial sequelae and ethical concerns in critical illness. A curriculum template will be developed for programs to tailor to the educational needs specific to their site. The committee will explore the use of the Internet, multimedia and other resources to assist in the educational goals of pediatric resident education.
