Children’s Hospital Pediatric Emergency Department Rotation
GOALS and OBJECTIVES
What follows are the goals and objectives for the CHILDRENS’ Pediatric ED rotation, that will range from a 2 week to 1 month rotation, as assigned by the Program Director. The rotation will take place at the CHILDRENS’ Hospital in the Pediatric ED. The year of training may include PGY 1-5.
The educational objectives of the CHILDRENS’ Pediatric ED rotation are to:


  1. Gain expertise in the recognition and management of pediatric emergencies.




  1. Gain expertise in pediatric resuscitation, including Pediatric Advanced Life Support, emergent intubation, fluid administration, and drug dosages.




  1. Become familiar with the management of non-emergent pediatric conditions which commonly present to the Emergency Department.




  1. Gain expertise in the performance of routine procedures such as venipuncture and arterial puncture.




  1. Become familiar with pediatric medication dosages.

The clinical and didactic experiences used to meet those objectives included daily patient care in the CHILDRENS’ Pediatric ED, along with bedside teaching. The rotating resident is encouraged to attend lectures available at CHILDRENS’ pertaining to the care of the pediatric patient. This rotation experience is part of the greater pediatric emergency medicine curriculum, also including PALS provider and instructor certification and weekly didactics (part of the overall didactic curriculum).


The feedback mechanisms and methods used to evaluate the performance of the resident include an end of rotation global evaluation. Immediate feedback may also be given to the resident, and any significant problems will be discussed during the rotation with the LSU EM administration.
The resources and facilities in the institution that will be available to each resident include computer access to Up To Date and the LSU Library services, including current texts in pediatrics and emergency medicine. There is a rent free, secure apartment available during the rotation for resident use. The residents will have access to the resources of the hospital including medical texts, medical records and cafeteria.
The clinical experiences, duties and responsibilities the resident will have on the rotation: Residents will act as a part of the Emergency Medicine team in a community pediatric hospital under the supervision of a staff physician. The residents will participate in the initial management of emergency department patients, to include pediatric trauma and general medical patients.
The relationship that will exist between emergency medicine residents and faculty on the service: The overall goals of resident education and patient care will govern the relationship between faculty and residents. Residents will receive 24 hour supervision while on the rotation. All patient care and medical charts will be reviewed and signed by the ED faculty prior to patient discharge.
Duty hours for this rotation will not exceed an average of 60hrs/week, and will include 1 in 7 days off.
This rotation summary has been reviewed and agreed to by the service director and LSU Program Director.
