2:45 Effective, Efficient, and Innovative Teaching as a Fellow: Who Says It Cannot 

Be Done? 

Lewis R. First, Editor-in-Chief, Pediatrics, Professor and Chair, 

Department of Pediatrics, University of Vermont College of Medicine, 

Burlington, VT 

With increasing pressures to learn the knowledge, skills, and other 

competencies required for fellowship training, teaching of medical 

students and residents has the tendency to become less of a priority 

at this level of training. Yet fellows are frequently called upon to teach 

trainees in the inpatient and outpatient settings. Effective, efficient, 

and innovative teaching strategies are needed, and this workshop will 

provide attendees with such strategies. A variety of teaching techniques 

including the use of “trigger” videotapes, live demonstrations and 

discussion will be used to highlight key take-home concepts that are 

designed to improve the teaching skills of participants. 

4:15 Break 

4:30 Recognizing Common Biostatistical Errors in the Literature 

Thomas B. Newman, University of California, San Francisco, CA 

This will be an abbreviated and/or accelerated version of the workshop 

of the same name I have co-led at PAS for many years. The errors 

covered will depend partly on the interests of the group. They may 

include standard error vs. standard deviation, nonindependence, use of 

paired measurements, meaning of P-values, confidence intervals and 

effect sizes, risk ratios, and odds ratios. 

Designed to meet elements of the core curriculum for pediatric fellowship 

subspecialty training.

1105 Advances in Pediatric Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic 

Disease 

PAS Topic Symposium~Korbel 2C 

Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians practicing general pediatrics, 

adolescent medicine, immunology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, genetics 

and nutrition. 

Objective: 

- Understand the mechanisms of injury in autoimmune liver and pancreatic 

disease, evalutate children and adolescents at risk for NAFLD and review 

injury causing mechanisms, discuss disease specific diagnosis and pathology 

in metabolic liver disease 

Chairs: William F. Balistreri, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, 

Cincinnati, OH and Judith O’Connor, University of Arkansas, Arkansas 

Children’s Hospital, Little Rock, AR 

Liver disease in children results from many causes that include infectious, 

inflammatory, metabolic, and drug and toxin induced. Metabolic causes can 

result from a single gene defect or as a genetic susceptibility induced by a 

trigger such a drug or a metabolic derangement associated with visceral obesity 

(Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease/NAFALD). Taken individually single gene 

defects are rare but account for up to 10% of pediatric liver transplantations. 

NAFALD and associated NASH (Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) is a world wide 

problem of childhood and is the most common cause of liver disease in the 

age group. Inflammatory disorders such as autoimmune hepatitis, sclerosing 

cholangitis and autoimmune pancreatitis are chronic disorders resulting from 

immune dysregulation. This course will review and discuss mechanisms of liver 

injury, diagnosis and treatment of common causes of liver disease in children 

and adolescents.

respiratory failure. Respiratory distress after birth impacts a large number 

of term and near term neonates worldwide and is a significant contributor to 

morbidity and mortality given its large etiologic fraction. Our understanding 

of the pathophysiology has improved in recent years, and with it our ability 

to target therapies. In this symposium, we will begin with a broad overview 

of epidemiologic data, highlighting risk factors associated with HRF. Genetic 

studies are beginning to reveal hitherto unknown causes of intractable HRF and 

these will be highlighted. Finally, advances in managing HRF will be discussed 

with particular emphasis on new therapies which have improved outcomes or 

have the potential for doing so in this population.

1115 Metabolic Syndrome / Obesity in the Eastern and 

Western World 

PAS Topic Symposium~Korbel 2B/3B 

Target Audience: General pediatricians, endocrinologists, geneticists, 

epidemiologists, dieticians, adolescent medicine, cardiologists, scientists and 

clinicians interested in obesity and metabolic syndrome. 

Objectives: 

- To understand differences in presentation of metabolic syndrome and risk for 

diabetes in children and adolescents in Asian and western countries 

- To learn the principles of management of metabolic syndrome 

Chairs: Silva A. Arslanian, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, 

Pittsburgh, PA and Takehiko Ohzeki, Hamamatsu University School of 

Medicine, Hamamatsu, Japan 

Metabolic syndrome in association with obesity is one of the most pressing 

medical topics not only in North America but also in Asian countries. Because 

obesity in childhood predominantly tracks into adulthood, it should be a key 

for prevention of obesity/metabolic syndrome and following type 2 diabetes 

mellitus in adults. In addition to genes related to the function of adipocyte 

and energy-controlling system, changes in lifestyle in various countries all 

over the world is one of the most important causes for obesity. Comparison 

of the metabolic syndrome between areas with different ethnic and cultural 

backgrounds will show more clearly the pathophysiology. It may be interesting 

to compare the syndrome in children and adolescents in Western countries, such 

as USA, with those in Asia, including Japan and Korea. In this symposium, 

diagnosis, epidemiology, and management of metabolic syndrome and related 

disorders in the USA and Asian countries are discussed.

Out about Your Options! 

PAS Topic Symposium~Korbel 2A/3A 

Target Audience: All board certified pediatricians. 

Objectives: 

- List the four parts of MOC and the timeline for completion 

- Describe the educational options available through the AAP to fulfill MOC 

requirements 

- Explain how an individual can fulfill MOC Part 4 by participating in one’s 

specialty society’s or regional QI project 

Chairs: Theodore C. Sectish, Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical 

School, Federation of Pediatric Organizations, Boston, MA and Judith Shaw, 

University of Vermont, Burlington, VT 

Board-certified pediatricians are now aware of the new process to maintain 

certification by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), but many are unsure 

about what to do for their next steps. In an effort to educate and inform PAS 

attendees, this Topic Symposium will focus on the steps of Maintenance of 

Certification (MOC), particularly Parts 2 + 4. The 2-hour session will consist of 

four 20-minute presentations followed by 5 minutes of discussion, and conclude 

with a summary by panel members. The topic areas include: an overview of 

the MOC process from the ABP; options to fulfill 2 parts of MOC through the 

AAP; how participation in a multi-practice subspeciality quality improvement 

collaborative can help you be a better doctor and improve the care you provide 

while satisfying an MOC requirement; and how pediatricians within regions 

may join a QI network and fulfill their requirements for MOC Part 4.

1130 The National Action Plan To Improve Health 

Literacy: How Can We Maximize the Health and 

Safety of Children 

PAS Topic Symposium~Korbel 4B 

Target Audience: Clinicians, educators and researchers who wish to improve 

the quality of care for children and their families by incorporating a practical, 

actionable approach to the pervasive problem of low health literacy. 

Objective: 

- To understand existing approaches to the problem of low health literacy, and 

how practical strategies to address this issue can be incorporated into routine 

practice and within health systems, using the framework provided by the 

“National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy”, recently released by the 

US Department of Health and Human Services (US DHHS) 

Chairs: Benard P. Dreyer, New York University School of Medicine, New 

York, NY and Hsiang Shonna Yin, New York University School of Medicine, 

New York, NY 

Almost 9 of every 10 adults has trouble understanding and acting upon health 

information; 1 in 3 function at the most basic levels of health literacy. Cited as 

a key quality and safety issue by the IOM, AHRQ, and Joint Commission, low 

health literacy is linked to worse health knowledge and poor health outcomes. 

Despite two decades of research, health forms and handouts continue to be 

written at a level that is too difficult to understand, and few providers use 

recommended communication strategies. The “National Action Plan to Improve 

Health Literacy” (US DHHS), outlines strategies for change. Speaker one will 

provide a health systems perspective, guided by the AHRQ’s “Health Literacy 

Universal Precautions Toolkit.” Speaker two will address the relationship 

between health literacy and health disparities. Speakers three and four will 

discuss medication safety. Finally, the last speakers will discuss training the 

next generation of physicians.

1200 Children and Youth In Foster Care: Implications for 

Research and Practice 

PAS Workshop~Room 302 

Target Audience: Student/residents and faculty mentors interested in doing 

research with underserved populations.

Objectives: 

- Describe the special health care needs of children in foster care 

- Define the role of the pediatrician in addressing and managing the unique 

health care needs of children and youth in foster care 

- Develop research questions that will contribute to the creation of policies 

or practice improvements directed at optimizing the health of children and 

youth in foster care 

Leader: Thomas F. Tonniges, Co-Leaders: Moira Szilagyi, Paula Duncan 

Children and youth in foster care are challenged by undiagnosed medical 

conditions,fragmented health care, and chronic health conditions. A foster care 

graduate will facilitate a discussion and use group exercises with participants to 

help them determine critical health issues among children and youth in foster 

care and social circumstances under which these can go unaddressed. Working 

in facilitated small groups, participants will be asked to develop research 

questions that will inform state and federal policy makers on how to organize 

health care services for children and youth in foster care and in the primary care 

setting that will result in optimal health outcomes. 

8:00am–11:00am 

1202 Cultural Competence and Quality Care for Lesbian, 

Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Patients and 

Families 


Target Audience: Students/residents/faculty at all levels with an interest in 

learning more or furthering LGBT cultural competency in health professional 

education. 

Objectives: 

- Describe terminology and concepts related to lesbian, gay, bisexual and 

transgender (LGBT) patients and families 

- Review barriers to quality care for LGBT patients and families 

- Identify developmental challenges for GLBTQ youth and describe the 

research on children of LGBT parents 

- Evaluate settings for LGBTQ educational opportunities at learner’s home 

institution 

Leader: Lynn Hunt, Co-Leaders: Christopher E. Harris, Henry Ng 

There is increasing visibility of sexual minority patients in healthcare settings. 

The AAMC, Institute of Medicine, and Joint Commission have placed special 

emphasis on provider education, research needs and culturally competent care 

for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) patients and families. 

The workshop will be appropriate for those who have little experience 

with LGBT issues as well as those who are comfortable with this aspect of 

cultural competence. We will provide participants with basic terminology and 

demographics as well as more in depth information designed for the pediatric 

setting, including adolescent issues, transgender youth and children of same 

sex parents. 

The group will review and discuss barriers to quality care for LGBT patients 

and families. Group discussion will focus on various case presentations. 

Workshop attendees will also have the opportunity to share specific training 

initiatives at their own institutions, brainstorm regarding settings for enhanced 

LGBT cultural competence education, and leave the workshop with resources, 

tools and ideas for other educational sessions. 

8:00am–11:00am 

1204 Designing Qualitative Research 


Target Audience: Students, residents, faculty and administrators who do or want 

to do qualitative research. 

Objectives: 

- Describe sampling strategies and data collection methods for qualitative 

research 

- Describe strategies for ensuring the credibility of data and analysis in a 

qualitative study 



- Develop a plan for a qualitative study, including a sampling strategy, data 

collection method(s), and strategies to ensure credibility of the data and 

analysis 

Leader: Janice L. Hanson, Co-Leaders: Su-Ting Li, T.J. Jirasevijinda, Nasreen 

Talib, Carrie A. Phillipi, Eve R. Colson, Sherilyn Smith, Linda Tewksbury, 

Heather McLaughlan 

Are you intrigued by the potential of qualitative research to inform your work 

or contribute knowledge to your topic of research, but unsure about how to 

plan a study? This workshop will explain sampling strategies, approaches to 

data collection, and methods to ensure the credibility of the data, analysis and 

results. Experienced qualitative researchers will serve as workshop facilitators, 

providing information and resources about qualitative research methods and 

working with participants in small groups to write an initial plan for a qualitative 

study. Participants may bring their own research questions, work with other 

participants on a plan for their study, or plan an approach to a research question 

provided by the facilitators. Qualitative analysis software will be showcased 

and an annotated bibliography of references provided, including published 

examples of qualitative research and books and articles that describe qualitative 

methods. 



8:00am–11:00am 

1206 Obtaining High-Quality Pediatric Evidence for Use 

in Practice and Teaching 


Target Audience: Students/residents/fellows and faculty interested in expanding 

their use of evidence in patient care and teaching. 

Objectives: 

- Describe the Evidence-Based Medicine information cycle and list strategies 

for integrating it into your teaching 

- Identify high-quality information resources for acquiring evidence 

- Appraise the quality of different sources of evidence for use at the point of 

care 

- Describe resources available for teachers of EBM 

Leader: John G. Frohna, Co-Leaders: Jonathan E. Fliegel, Dawn Ebach 

Practicing evidence-based medicine (EBM) is essential for lifelong learning 

and critical thinking among pediatricians, both those in training and in practice. 

Despite the proliferation of evidence resources, being able to identify, evaluate, 

and apply that evidence at the point of care is not always straightforward. 

Participants will work in small groups to identify the most useful evidence 

sources to address common clinical scenarios in inpatient or outpatient settings. 

They will work together to evaluate the quality of the evidence and discuss ways 

in which this evidence could be applied in patient care at the point of care. The 

session will conclude with a participant-generated discussion of useful pearls 

for finding the best evidence for the practice and teaching of EBM in different 

settings, facilitated by presenters who use and teach EBM in multiples venues. 

Participants will receive EBM curricular materials and a list of resources that 

can foster the efficient use of evidence. Whether you are a novice or an expert, 

as a participant in this workshop you can expect to participate actively, gain 

additional resources, and leave with new ideas for using and applying evidence 

in practice. 



8:00am–11:00am 

1210 The Work-life Juggling Act: Keeping Your Eye on 

the Balls that Really Count 


Target Audience: Fellows, junior faculty, mid-career faculty seeking to identify 

priorities and use peer mentoring strategies.

- Apply a stepwise approach to assessing one’s personal (and changing) needs 

at home and at work 

- Develop concrete, personalized strategies to manage home and career 

demands 

Leader: Sandra H. Jee, Co-Leaders: Kathleen Walsh, Beth Martin 

Work-life balance is probably not a realistic goal—work-life juggle more aptly 

describes how we handle competing priorities. Run by three women and one 

male faculty with dual-career families and busy family schedules, this 2 hour 

workshop aims to help fellows and junior faculty to successfully juggle home 

and career demands, providing both the female and male perspectives. We will 

share two self-assessment exercises, practical tips for time-management, and 

some of our personal approaches to keeping our act together. Participants will 

generate strategies for prioritizing needs and demands, and small groups will 

engage in practical problem-solving to help individuals better choreograph 

their own juggling acts to meet the needs of self, family, and work. 



8:00am–11:00am 

1212 Using Interdisciplinary Teams to Identify and 

Reduce Errors and Teach Patient Safety in 

Ambulatory Pediatrics 


Target Audience: Residents, fellows, and faculty interested in ambulatory 

patient safety. 

Objectives: 

- Understand current epidemiology of errors in ambulatory pediatrics 

- Learn how to build an interdisciplinary team to improve non-punitive error 

reporting and make system changes to improve patient safety 

- Learn basics of root-cause analysis with system redesign 

- Learn how to integrate a resident patient safety curriculum into your patient 

safety team 

Leader: Daniel R. Neuspiel, Co-Leader: Erin H. Stubbs 

Mandatory hospital incident reporting systems miss many medical errors, 

appear punitive, seek to blame individuals for mistakes, and are underutilized. 

A nonpunitive systems approach, rather than the traditional blaming culture, 

is more effective in identifying and addressing errors. Faculty will share their 

experience with a multidisciplinary team model which has been effective in 

improving error reporting and implementing system changes to improve patient 

safety in two different ambulatory pediatric settings. Involvement of all levels 

of staff on the safety team is essential to improve reporting of errors and to 

recommend changes that are acceptable to the whole practice. Participants will 

learn the basics of root-cause analysis and rapid system changes by problem 

solving actual error reports in small groups. They will be able to take home the 

essential elements of this safety team model to apply in their own settings. 



8:00am–11:00am 

1214 Why, When, and How Pediatricians Should Care For 

Teeth: Fluoride Varnish In the Academic and Public 

Health Settings 


Target Audience: Residents, fellows, and faculty, particularly those interested 

community pediatrics or primary care. 

Objectives: 

- Demonstrate how to apply fluoride varnish, with clinical pearls 

- Discuss examples of oral health curricula in residency and brainstorm on 

ways to integrate these examples into one’s own training program and clinic 

- Review the importance of oral health to overall health, specifically for 

children 

- Identify lesions pediatricians should recognize in the mouth 

Leader: Susan A. Fisher-Owens, Co-Leaders: Shannon M. Thyne, Irene V. 

Hilton 

Five times as many children in the US suffer from oral health problems as from 

asthma. The AAP recognizes oral health problems as one of their top priorities 

for children’s health. Join us as we highlight the implications on children and 

families of not caring for teeth; learn the mechanisms of how fluoride works; 

and discuss the pediatrician’s role in oral health. Participants will practice 

applying fluoride varnish to models and each other, and giving anticipatory 

guidance around oral health issues. We will also discuss innovative examples 

from around the country of integrating oral health into medical student and 

residency education, before brainstorming on ways to incorporate these models 

into one’s own program or clinic, and to collaborate with the public health 

system. Last, we will give examples of how to fund this work. 

8:00am–11:00am

Chairs: Louis J. Elsas II, University of Miami, Miami, FL and Fumio Endo, 

Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan 

The symposium will provide an update on novel therapies for metabolic 

disorders. Newborn screening for PKU and galactosemia have produced 

new clinical spectra that require creative research into treating the chronic 

pathophysiological effects. Mitochondrial disorders including transporters 

required for maintenance of the urea cycle (Citrin) and the clinical presentation 

and interventions for lysosomal storage diseases will be reviewed. A better 

understanding of the pathophysiology of these inherited conditions is leading 

to the development of new therapies using small, molecule inhibitors to prevent 

accumulation of toxic precursors in the blocked metabolic flow as well as 

chaperones and active coenzymes to improve the biological functions of mutant 

enzymes.

1600 Developmental Innate and Adaptive Immunity: 

Implications for NEC, SIP, and Sepsis 

PAS Topic Symposium~Korbel 4E 

Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians (gastroenterologists, infectious 

disease specialists, immunologists, neonatologists, and pediatric surgeons) 

who study or treat diseases caused by premature gut immunodeficiency such as 

necrotizing enterocolitis, intestinal perforation, or sepsis. 

Objectives: 

- To understand how breaching the immature intestinal barrier can cause 

intestinal and systemic disease 

- To understand how deficient innate and adaptive immunity in the immature 

gut may predispose premature infants to intestinal injury 

- To understand potential ways to improve intestinal immune defenses to 

prevent NEC, SIP, or sepsis in the premature infant 

Chairs: Patricia L.W. Lin, Emory University, Atlanta, GA and Camilia Rivera 

Martin, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA 

An inappropriate inflammatory response by the premature infant has been long 

recognized as a critical step in the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis 

(NEC). Thus, clinical and basic research has increasingly focused on 

understanding the developmental immunodeficiency of the premature gut. 

Immaturity of the intestinal barrier is the first innate defense mechanism of the 

premature gut and predisposes neonates to many intestinal and systemic diseases 

such as NEC, spontaneous intestinal perforations (SIP), and sepsis. Most 

recently, initial investigations have begun to elucidate the basic deficiencies of 

the adaptive immune system that may predispose neonates to intestinal disease. 

An understanding of both innate and adaptive immunodeficiencies that increase 

susceptibility of premature infants to intestinal and systemic disease are crucial 

to developing clinical interventions that may prevent these diseases in neonatal 

intensive care units. This symposium will update the audience on the many 

important scientific advances in this rapidly expanding field.

1605A Genetic Contributions to Neonatal 

Hyperbilirubinemia 


Target Audience: Neonatologists and general pediatricians. 

Objectives: 

- Know the genetic causes contributing to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia 

- Understand the association between the common variants of genes and 

neonatal hyperbilirubinemia 

- Know the most common specific genetic factors of neonatal hyperbilirubine 

Chairs: Masafumi Matsuo, Kobe University, Kobe, Japan and David K. 

Stevenson, Stanford University School of Medicine, Standford, CA 

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most important problems encountered 

in neonatal care unit. The incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia requiring 

phototherapy differs from region to region. The serum bilirubin level depends 

on the balance between production and elimination of bilirubin. Blood type 

incompatibility is a well known cause of over-production of bilirubin. In 

certain regions, red blood cell abnormalities are a more common cause of 

hemolysis, producing excessive bilirubin. On the other hand, deficient UDPglucuronosyltransterase1A1 

activity hampers elimination of bilirubin. Thus, 

genetic factors can also determine serum bilirubin levels. Understanding 

the propensity for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia at the genetic level may help 

prevent kernicterus.

PAS State of the Art Plenary~Room 207 

Target Audience: General pediatricians, health services researchers, researchers, 

policy makers, child advocates, public health professionals, trainees and 

educators interested in global health and the MDG. 

Objectives: 

- To understand the key elements of effective cross-national programs to 

reduce child mortality and morbidity

In 2010, Global Health Part-I provided an action-framework for pediatricians 

seeking to improve child health outcomes worldwide. We propose a continuation 

of these vital discussions with follow-up sessions on the GHESKIO Centers in 

Haiti and Helping Babies Breathe (HBB). The Haiti experience was presented 

within the context of the devastating 2010-earthquake and the follow-up session 

reports on the progress made for cross-national collaborations in the wake of 

this disaster. The HBB was presented at the cusp of the initiative to ameliorate 

neonatal mortality in developing countries and in 2011 we present the first year’s 

experience. We complement these sessions with two new ones: A view from the 

Fogarty Foundation on effective training models; and a report by WHO and IPA 

on cross-national collaborations addressing environmental health imperatives 

and MDG. Together these presentations will emphasize methods for sustaining 

substantive efforts in the children’s global health agenda.

1625 Transition and Chronic Disease: The Long Hard 

Road from Childhood to Adulthood 


Target Audience: This session will be relevant to almost all health professionals 

who care for children, adolescents and young adults with chronic health 

conditions. 

Objectives: 

- To have a greater understanding of the neurocognitive and psychosocial 

factors that impact the transition of youth with chronic illness into adult 

focused care, and 

- To be better able to adapt and apply specific transition recommendations to 

their own patient population 

Chairs: Lorraine E. Bell, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal 

Children’s Hospital, Montreal, QC, Canada and Maria E. Ferris, UNC Kidney 

Center, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 

Adolescents with chronic illness face a multitude of challenges as they transition 

into adulthood and adult focused healthcare. Some sail through while others 

flounder, occasionally with devastating outcomes. Risk taking peaks during 

adolescence and emerging adulthood, and consequences can be dire when health 

and continued survival depend on regular adherence to a therapeutic regimen. 

In addition, organ dysfunction during infancy and childhood may interfere 

with normal development and milestone achievement; cognitive, social, and 

emotional maturation may each be delayed. Obstacles and challenges in the 

domains of education, vocational training and eventual employment can also 

impede integration into normal adult life. This symposium will explore factors 

influencing adolescent risk-taking and decision-making, the neurocognitive 

correlates of early organ dysfunction, and integration of youth with chronic 

illness into mainstream education, all in the context of transition to adult care. 

Ways of dealing with these challenges will be explored.

1700 An Introduction to the Cochrane Collaboration’s 

Methods for Conducting Systematic Reviews and 

Meta-Analyses 


Target Audience: Students, residents, fellows, and faculty interested in learning 

how to conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses. This workshop may be 

of particular interest to fellows and junior faculty. 

Objectives: 

- Teach attendees how to prepare a systematic review and meta-analysis using 

the Cochrane Collaboration’s methods and software 

- Inform attendees about opportunities for publishing systematic reviews 

through the Cochrane Collaboration and obtaining further training in 

methods for conducting systematic reviews 

Leader: Janet M. Coffman, Co-Leaders: Roger Soll, Tonse N. Raju, Martin 

Offringa, Virginia A. Moyer 

This highly interactive workshop will provide an overview of the Cochrane 

Collaboration’s methods for conducting systematic reviews, which are widely 

regarded as “gold standards” for carrying out this type of research. Leaders 

will use the Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan software to demonstrate how to 

construct a systematic review. A Cochrane review on a child health topic will 

be used to illustrate the steps involved in completing a systematic review and, 

where appropriate, performing a meta-analysis. The software demonstration 

will be complemented by group exercises. Participants will also learn about 

opportunities for publishing systematic reviews through the Cochrane Library, 

obtaining further training regarding methods for conducting systematic reviews, 

and securing funding for systematic reviews. 



2:45pm–4:45pm 

1702 Cancelled: Difficult Conversations: New Strategies 

for Teaching, Assessing and Implementing 

Communication Skills Curricula 


Target Audience: Program and Clerkship Directors, Junior Faculty, Senior 

Faculty, Educational Leaders, and those responsible for teaching and assessing 

communication skills (ACGME and LCME Competencies), Trainees. 

Objectives: 

- Compare the differences between interpersonal and communication skills, 

and formulate competencies for meaningful communication in clinical 

encounters 

- Provide participants with 2 models (Four Habits and Kalamazoo Consensus 

Statement) as well as innovative assessment strategies (including multirater 

methodology with gap analysis) to foster teaching and assessment of 

communication skills on their own 

- Participants will create strategies for communication skills teaching and 

assessment and the implementation of communication skills curricula in 

their own settings 

Cancelled 

Leader: Elizabeth A. Rider 

Physicians’ communication skills significantly impact patient care and health 

outcomes. Regulatory organizations--ACGME, LCME, Joint Commission-require 

competency in these skills. 

This interactive, skills-based workshop offers a relationship-centered approach, 

and will provide participants with 2 frameworks (Four Habits model and 

Kalamazoo Consensus Statement framework) as well as innovative assessment 

strategies to foster teaching and assessment of communication skills in their 

own institutions. Multirater assessment with gap analysis, a new method used 

to enhance self-insight and reflection in learners, will be presented. Using video 

clips, participants will identify and assess communication competencies. 

Participants will gain an evidence-based appreciation of relationship-centered 

care; learn methods to teach and assess interpersonal and communication skills; 

become familiar with 2 models they can use or adapt, and with assessment using 

multirater methodology with gap analysis. Participants will develop strategies 

for the implementation of curricula at their own institutions. A syllabus and 

resources will be provided. 

2:45pm–4:45pm 

1704 Epigenetic Data and Techniques Applied to In Vivo 

Research: What Can You Say without Irritating 

Your Grant Reviewers? 


Target Audience: Fellows and Faculty Interested in Starting a Career in 

Epigenetics. 

Objectives: 

- Understand the complexity of epigenetics - its not just promoters and DNA 

methylation 

- Know the techniques (as well as their limitations) being applied to study in 

vivo epigenetics 

- Understand the factors confounding the interpretation of epigenetic data 

from in vivo research 

- Understand what you can conclude and speculate from your in vivo studies 

Leader: Robert Lane, Co-Leaders: Kurt Albertine, Josef Neu, Robert 

McKnight, Lisa Joss-Moore 

Epigenetics still confuses investigators, particularly when applying it to in vivo 

models of pediatric disease. Issues that contribute to the confusion include: 1) 

the reality that epigenetic contributes to similar but distinct biological processes; 

2) epigenetic techniques are often indirect and imprecise measures; 3) gender 

and tissue specificity; and 4) biological variability. 

To address these issues, we will provide overviews of epigenetics, epigenetic 

techniques, and application of epigenetic techniques to in vivo models of 

disease. We will subsequently present a model of in vivo pediatric disease and 

an hypothesis to have the audience work through the best aims through which 

to test the hypothesis. We will then provide data generated from those aims / 

techniques to have the audience work through the interpretation of what the data 

mean, as well as to generate defensible conclusions. The workshop will end with 

a question and answer session, as well as provide an annotated bibliography. 



2:45pm–4:45pm 

1706 From SOAP to AsoP: A Unified System for 

Documenting, Presenting and Signing Out Patients’ 

Problem Lists 


Target Audience: Faculty, Program Directors, other medical educators, 

housestaff, medical informaticians. 

Objectives: 

- List essential elements for explicit diagnosis and communication of patients’ 

problems 

- Organize multiple problems of complex patients into a framework suitable 

for verbal, written, or electronic communication 

- Apply cognitive forcing strategies to enhance effective diagnosis, teaching, 

and efficient communication of multiple concurrent medical problems 

Leader: Joaquim M. Pinheiro, Co-Leader: Patricia Hopkins-Braddock 

Deficient documentation and communication of medical information by 

trainees during sign-outs are common, and likely due to the underuse of 

explicit terminologies and lack of standardized structures for organizing and 

communicating clinical information. In patients with multiple problems,

standardized constructs may be critical for effective diagnostic processes, safe 

hand-offs, and optimal learning opportunities for trainees. In this interactive 

workshop, participants will critique video clips of rounds, sign-out presentations 

and progress notes, and discuss approaches to efficient verbal and written 

problem-oriented communications. Leaders will review elements of a functional 

differential diagnosis and limitations of the common SOAP construct, then 

demonstrate the AsoP construct - which uses cognitive forcing functions - along 

with a tool for evaluating written notes and oral presentations. In small groups, 

participants will restructure, then present information on sample cases, practice 

using the evaluation tool, and discuss the adaptability of these constructs to 

their settings and electronic medical records. 

2:45pm–4:45pm 

1708 How Do I Create a Quality Improvement 

Curriculum in My Training Program? 


Target Audience: Residency and Fellowship Program Directors, faculty

- Create the first draft for your training program’s QI curriculum 

Leader: Colette C. Mull, Co-Leaders: Evan J. Weiner, Dalit Eyal, Kim A. 

Rutherford, Dunisha G. Ranasuriya, Tyler C. Greenfield, David Cooperberg 

Quality Improvement (QI) will be defined in the framework of medicine and 

graduate medical education. The key constructs of QI science in medicine 

will be discussed, e.g. the 6 Institute of Medicine “Aims for Improvement”, 

the Donabedian model of quality of care. Workshop leaders will identify QI 

teaching tools with a focus on the Plan-Do-Study-Act approach to QI projects. 

Participants will work in small groups to create QI outcomes of interest in 

their specialty with corresponding AIM statements and the first draft of their 

training program s QI curriculum. Participants will leave this workshop with 

a comprehensive resource list and a concrete start to developing their own 

training program s QI curriculum. 



2:45pm–4:45pm

- Plan an effective strategy for implementing integrated mental health services 

in participants’ own institution including recruiting local champions and 

identifying potential funding sources 

Leader: Maya Bunik, Co-Leaders: Barry Solomon, Lynn C. Garfunkel, Emily 

Frosch, Ayelet Talmi, Olivia Chiang, Brian Stafford 

More than 20% of children and adolescents in the United States have a 

diagnosable behavioral or mental health problem, but only 20% receive 

adequate treatment. 

A variety of academic medical centers have successfully implemented models 

of integrated behavioral and mental health services within primary care 

residency training practices that serve primarily low-income populations. In 

this workshop, leaders of several collaborative care models of integrated mental 

health will share successes and challenges. Through rotating small group 

round table sessions using role play and video reviews, participants will: 1) 

Learn about and practice using mental health and behavior screening tools as 

well as materials for teaching trainees; 2) Gain skills in using brief, practical 

techniques for addressing behavioral and mental health problems for the busy 

clinician teacher, and 3) Develop an action plan for implementing integrated

1722 Reducing Pain and Anxiety via Hypnosis: Tips, 

Techniques and Clinical Applications for the 

Pediatric Practitioner 


Target Audience: Practitioners, at all levels of training, who care for children 

undergoing painful or anxiety-provoking procedures or experiences. 

Objectives: 

- Understand the principles of hypnosis 

- Recognize the importance of therapeutic language when speaking to anxious 

or fearful children 

- Explore different clinical applications of hypnotic suggestion 

- Learn specific, basic techniques for inducing trance in children 

Leader: Linda D. Arnold, Co-Leaders: Denise A. Bothe, Haleh Saadat 

Children frequently experience pain and anxiety during the course of well child, 

urgent care and emergency visits. Immunizations, blood draws, IV placement 

and surgical procedures can all be significant stressors for pediatric patients. 

Hypnosis has been shown to reduce procedural pain and anxiety in a variety 

of settings. Children, with their well-developed imaginations, are particularly 

susceptible to hypnotic suggestion, and stand to benefit greatly when their 

caregivers learn how to guide them into trance and can offer them suggestions 

for minimizing pain and worry. Basic hypnotic techniques are quick to teach, 

easy to learn, and can be applied to many different settings and scenarios. 

In this workshop, a pediatric emergency medicine physician, an anesthesiologist 

and a behavioral/developmental specialist will present a targeted review of 

the medical literature pertaining to hypnosis, discuss the ways in which they 

incorporate hypnosis and biofeedback into their clinical practices and explore 

with workshop participants the many possible clinical applications of hypnosis. 

Basic hypnotic techniques will be presented and demonstrated; participants will 

then divide into small groups in order to practice the different methods they 

have learned and to explore practical applications of hypnosis via discussion of 

actual cases. The course syllabus will contain both core material and suggested 

further readings on the topic, along with contact information for those who wish 

to pursue formal training in hypnosis.

2:45pm–4:45pm 

1724 So Now You’re a Leader: First Steps in Your New 

Role 


Target Audience: Faculty in new leadership positions. 

Objectives: 

- To identify current strengths and weaknesses as leaders 

- Learn to apply practices from the business industry to solve common 

dilemmas for new leaders 

- Inform participants on how to use a “new leader checklist” as a guide and 

tool in their work as leaders 

Leader: Elaine E. Schutle, Co-Leader: Maryellen E. Gusic 

Despite the increasing number of leadership programs in academic medicine, 

most physicians have little or no formal leadership training. Much has been 

written about the necessary path to attain a leadership position, but how should 

a physician proceed once he/she gets there? This workshop is designed to help 

new leaders plan a smooth transition into their new positions. Workshop faculty 

will begin by reviewing the data about leaders in academic medicine. Using 

a leadership self-assessment tool, participants will explore their leadership 

qualities, and investigate challenges they face as new leaders. Workshop 

leaders will discuss strategies from the business industry, and how they can 

be applied in academic medicine. Three of these practices - strategic decision 

making, securing early wins, and effective team building - will be examined 

through small group case-based discussions. Workshop leaders will share 

tools that help to ensure credibility and to help leaders set priorities, create an 

environment conducive to change and avoid common traps. Finally, participants 

will apply their new knowledge and create a “new leader checklist”, to use as 

a guidepost. 

2:45pm–4:45pm

neonatal shock and its treatment; systemic blood flow, blood pressure, relative 

adrenal insufficiency and cerebral oxygenation during neonatal transition; 

persistent patent ductus arteriosus and persistent pulmonary hypertension of 

the neonate. The topic of the Hemodynamics Club in 2011 will be the analysis 

of data obtained by comprehensive monitoring of neonatal hemodynamic 

parameters in very preterm neonates during transition to extrauterine life with 

a special focus on the interaction among cerebral oxygenation, blood pressure 

and brain function and the relevance of these findings on medium-and longterm

PAS Meet the Professor Breakfast Session 

Hyatt Regency Downtown, Captiol 1 

Neonatal seizures may not respond well to anticonvulsants because the 

neurotransmitter code is different in the developing brain: GABA excites 

rather than inhibits neurons. We have been working on the ion transporters that 

determines this code, and found that the diuretic bumetanide may be a safe 

means to re-establish the efficacy of anticonvulsants in the neonatal period.

2024 Scholarship in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine 


Hyatt Regency Downtown, Captiol 7 

The scholarly component of an academic intesivist’s career has been in flux 

and grown to encompass the full range of activities critical to the vitality of an 

academic medical center. These essential roles encompass activities far broader 

than traditionally considered in discovery-oriented research. Professional 

scholarship is practiced when intellectual/creative synthesis or analysis is 

brought to bear upon any area of our practice, to produce new knowledge or 



insights that can be utilized by our community. This definition of scholarship 

brings legitimacy to the full scope of academic work. In this session, we will 

discuss the full range of scholarly activities available to academic intensivists 

(discovery, integration, application/implementation, teaching) as well as 

pathways for fellows and junior faculty to best prepare to practice these areas of 

scholarship with excellence.

PAS Special Symposium~Room 103/105 

Target Audience: Pediatric-focused organizations intent on ensuring that the 

11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) nomenclature 

is developed and structured in accordance with the specific needs of morbidity 

and mortality reporting in the pediatric population. 

Objective: 

- To be better able to understand the opportunity presented to the pediatric 

profession community surrounding the formation of the 11th edition of ICD 

by virtue of the development of a Pediatric Topic Advisory Group (TAG) 

Chair: Jeffrey Linzer, Sr, Emory University School Of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) has a direct impact on health 

care in that it influences public health programs, prevention, payment, and 

treatment. Countries use it to compile basic health statistics and to monitor 

health spending. To compare findings between countries, a common standard 

is needed. Emerging diseases and scientific developments, advances in service 

delivery, and changes in health information systems require its revision. One 

major need is to improve the relevance of the ICD in primary care settings, 

while another is the development of computerized health information systems. 

The Word Health Organization (WHO) is leading the charge to revise ICD, 

creating an 11th edition. WHO has established Topic Advisory Groups (TAGs) 

to serve as the planning and coordinating advisory bodies in the update and 

revision process. There is now an opportunity to provide input into the future of 

pediatric mortality and morbidity reporting via the ICD-11 Pediatric TAG.

2120 Is There a Doctor in the House? 

PAS Mini Course~Korbel 3C 

Target Audience: Experienced clinicians and trainees from all fields of 

medicine. 

Objective: 

- At the end of this session, participants will become adept at several 

techniques for treating children (and some adults) with emergencies at the 

scene and will be able to teach them to others at their home institutions 

Chair: Steven M. Selbst, A.I. duPont Hospital for Children, Jefferson Medical 

College, Wilmington, DE 

Students, residents and seasoned clinicians are constantly exposed to sophisticated 

technology and expensive medical equipment. Most are comfortable managing 

patients in a full-service, modern hospital but lack training and experience 

as first responders to an emergency outside the medical center. This Mini- 

Course will help clinicians understand first aid techniques and strategies to 

manage an injury or illness ‘in the field,’ without state-of-the-art tools. Case 

discussions include a variety of medical emergencies, minor injuries and life 

threatening trauma, involving toddlers, teens and senior citizens. Videotapes, 

demonstrations, mini-lectures, roundtable discussions will review priorities for 

management, activation of EMS and simple ways to stabilize patients before 

arrival at a hospital. The approach to multiple victims, ethical issues, and legal 

concerns will be reviewed. Participants will share their own novel approaches 

and make-shift devices to assist at the scene.

Mentorship has been shown to be a key element in the career advancement 

of many academicians. However, the traditional dyad may be insufficient for 

reasons including the need for more than one mentor by most, unique needs for 

women and minorities as well as differential power between most mentors and 

mentees. More recently, peer mentorship has been described in the literature 

as a means to provide additional mentoring opportunities, particularly to 

junior faculty. This interactive workshop will expose participants to the peer 

mentorship model as an adjunct to traditional mentorship relationships in the 

career development of faculty. Through a series of video clips, we will explore 

the differences between traditional mentorship, peer mentorship and friendship 

relationships. We will also discuss innovative ways to develop peer mentorship 

opportunities and explore how these may prove cost and time-effective in an era 

of shrinking dollars to support faculty development. Finally, we will consider 

how peer mentoring may evolve as needs change throughout one’s career. 

8:00am–11:00am 

2202 Activating Learners: How to Increase the Depth 

and Breadth of Learning 


Target Audience: This workshop will be directed to those faculty who have 

responsibility for teaching within the continuum of education 

Objectives: 

- Recognize the power of activating learners 

- Learn to apply different educational techniques to make learners more 

proactive 

- To analyze each technique in terms of it’s applicability to one’s home 

institution 

Leader: Sarah E. Forgie, Co-Leaders: Dewesh Agrawal, Larrie Greenberg, 

Mary C. Ottolini, J. Lindsey Lane 

Many pediatric academic faculty are not familiar with Knowles’ work on adult 

learning which focuses on the learner rather than the teacher. Empowering 

and activating learners leads to a safer learning environment and one in which 

learners profess more enjoyment and learn in greater depth and breadth. 

In this workshop we will pursue the empowerment and activation of learners 

through the continuum of medical education by interacting with participants, 

role-modeling and encouraging their feedback, having them learn from each 

other in small and large group interactions, and having them reflect on these 

exepriences to determine what would work in their home institution and in what 

format. 

We will be sharing methods for: enhancing learning in lectures; enhancing 

teacher-learner interactions; negotiating learner roles, expectations and 

responsibilities; observing learners and providing them with first-hand 

feedback; and allowing the creativity of learners to emerge through generational 

differences in approaching knowledge, skills and attitudes. 

Participants will leave the workshop with techniques that can be applied in their 

own institution and that will ensure a learner-centered approach to mastering 

competencies. 

8:00am–11:00am 

2204 Advocacy Training: Tips, Tricks and Pitfalls 


Target Audience: Program directors, assoc program directors, general pediatric 

educators and residents interested in advocacy 

Objectives: 

- Learn the key elements of an advocacy curriculum 

- Identify the necessary steps to successfully design, mentor and complete an 

advocacy project 

- Discuss potential solutions for integration of advocacy training into the 

resident’s busy schedule 

- Learn how to use advocacy training as an opportunity to align quality 

initiatives, patient satisfaction and resident competencies 

Leader: Laurie J. Gordon, Co-Leaders: Dina J. Lieser, Susan Bostwick, Lauren 

W. Cochran 

Advocacy is a key component of residency training. Implementation of an 

advocacy curriculum that is meaningful and sustainable is challenging. This 

workshop will draw upon our experience and national best practices, to 

facilitate the development of an advocacy training program. We will provide 

examples of the steps for developing community linkages, resident mentorship, 

project development and longitudinal and integrated curriculum around 

advocacy. We will demonstrate how resident advocacy opportunities can be 

important components of quality assurance and patient satisfaction initiatives, 

enhance resident portfolio development and promote interdisciplinary team 

development. We will distribute tools to plan and implement an advocacy 

program. We will use the planning and completion of an advocacy project as 

the template for advocacy training. We will emphasize integrating components 

at the individual, community and policy/system levels. We will provide 

participants with solutions that meet their programs unique circumstances. We 

will discuss each group’s advocacy project and the potential challenges and 

solutions for implementation 



8:00am–11:00am

project proposal submission and learn about resources and networking 

opportunities to assist individual site faculty members 

- Develop and refine potential national QI projects that can be implemented in 

continuity clinic settings 

- Recognize barriers and develop strategies for overcoming barriers to 

performing successful QI projects 

Leader: William Stratbucker, Co-Leaders: Janet Serwint, Terry Hetzler, Nui 

Dhepyasuwan 

CORNET has as its mission to provide a framework for general pediatric 

academic faculty and pediatric residents to design, fund and conduct clinical 

and educational research within a practice-based research network. One goal of 

CORNET is to focus on the education and development of pediatric residents. 

QI projects conducted within the continuity clinic setting are important for 

improving the healthcare for the patients seen by residents, advancing resident 

general pediatric education and for faculty advancement. For this reason, 

CORNET is interested in assisting faculty members with developing meaningful 

and successful ambulatory QI initiatives. 

The workshop will begin with a brief overview of CORNET and continue with 

an introduction to the methodology of QI including PDSA cycles. Ideas for QI 

projects generated by the group will be used in highly interactive small group 

collaborative sessions. Participants, new and experienced, will be guided in 

their discussion and planning by CORNET Executive Committee members in 

a non-intimidating environment in the presence of others with similar interests. 

At the workshop conclusion, each group will present their work and plans for 

implementation of the QI project. 

Come join us and find out how much fun and how rewarding CORNET 

involvement can be! 

8:00am–11:00am

education and research partnerships.

Objectives: 

- Outline key components of successful international collaborations focused 

on pediatric patient care, education and research 

- Describe challenges and solutions to developing sustainable and ethical 

international partnerships 

- Provide tools to establish and/or improve international collaborations 

Leader: Elizabeth D. Lowenthal, Co-Leaders: Rodney Finalle, Edward A. 

Liechty, Loeto Mazhani, Suzinne Pak-Gorstein, Heidi Schwarzwald 

Children worldwide benefit when healthcare providers collaborate 

internationally. This workshop will equip participants with tools and knowledge 

to identify appropriate international partners and to ensure bidirectional benefit 

and sustainability of collaborations. Facilitators will briefly discuss models of 

productive international pediatric partnerships. Participants will then divide 

into small groups for discussion of challenges to partnerships effectiveness or 

sustainability. Following a large-group discussion of ways to avoid potential 

pitfalls, participants will again divide into small groups to focus on their 

own plans for creating an international partnership or improving an existing 

program. Topics to be explored include establishing guidelines for effective 

communication with global partners, creating memoranda of understanding, 

developing metrics to track progress towards short and long-term needs of all 

involved partners, and working with international IRBs. 

8:00am–11:00am 

2210 Grant Writing for Young Investigators: Designing, 

Funding, and Implementing One-Year Research 

Projects and Having Fun Doing It! 


Target Audience: Residents, fellows, junior faculty, fellowship directors, and 

other faculty. 

Objectives: 

-Identify 1 year projects that are likely to lead to larger research projects 

-Review and critique letters of intent and proposals for 1 year projects 

-Evaluate strategies to avoid common pitfalls in 1 year projects 

Leader: Cynthia Minkovitz, Co-Leaders: Judith Shaw, Benard Dreyer, William 

Barbaresi, Glenn Flores, Sara Slovin, Suzanne Dakil, Alma Guerrero, Rachel 

Gross, Darcy Thompson, Todd Florin 

For many investigators, an initial 1 year grant jump starts their academic careers. 

However, the daunting challenges of translating compelling scientific questions 

into feasible and fundable projects prevent some from obtaining funding and 

using an early grant as a springboard for future projects. In this workshop, 

APA and SDBP faculty are joined by past and current Young Investigators to 

examine what constitutes a successful and fundable 1 year project and the steps 

needed to secure an award. The session includes a brief introduction to the nuts 

and bolts of 1 year projects, available funding sources for Young Investigators, 

and grant review criteria. In breakout groups of 6-8, participants individually 

review and score letters of intent and full proposals with follow up discussion 

co-facilitated by recent Young Investigators and senior faculty. Group exercises 

will identify common pitfalls in the development and implementation of 1 year 

research grants and offer tips for success related to scope of effort, feasibility, 

and mentoring. Proposals will be chosen from those submitted to PAS and 

include a range of topics and study design. The workshop will highlight how 

small projects can lead to larger scale research activities. 



8:00am–11:00am 

2212 Learning Plans: They Are Not Just for Residents 


Target Audience: This experience will assist all physicians in learning and 

improving personal competence and performance. Medical educators can 

utilize the principles and content in fostering lifelong learning skills in their 

trainees. 



Objectives: 

- Demonstrate reflective practice skills in identifying personal learning needs 

- Apply a systematic, analytic process in creating a clinical question and 

identifying tools and resources to efficiently and effectively answer it 

- Develop an individual learning plan that incorporates strategies to overcome 

barriers to continuous professional development 

- Formulate self-monitoring methods to periodically assess progress toward 

individual goals 

Leader: Teri L. Turner, Co-Leaders: Loren Yamamoto, Henry H. Bernstein 

As medical information is increasing at a dizzying speed, the half life of 

information is shortening, resulting in a significant decline in physician 

knowledge over time. Lifelong learning skills are critical for one’s continuous 

professional development. Pediatricians are now mandated to comply with 

specific requirements of knowledge, competence, and performance to maintain 

their board certification. Workshop participants will discover tools to assess 

their learning needs, formulate and answer clinical questions, develop individual 

learning plans and devise self-monitoring strategies to assess progress. Learning 

will be deepened through interactive small group problem-solving sessions, 

utilization of real-world practice-based scenarios as prompts for framing clinical 

questions, development of individual and collaborative learning plans, selfreflection, 

and motivational type interviewing strategies. By the completion of 

the workshop, participants will have identified strategies to enhance their own 

performance in practice and foster self-directed learning in trainees. 



8:00am–11:00am 

2214 Planning a Community-based Intervention? How 

Logic Models Can Enhance Design, Communication 

and Program Evaluation 


Target Audience: Student/residents and faculty members interested in creating 

community-based interventions. 

Objectives: 

- Increase understanding of logic model design and their use in communitybased 

interventions 

- Understand the five basic components of logic models 

- Practice creating logic models for use in a community-based intervention 

- Understand broad applications of logic models to medical, psychosocial and 

educational interventions 

Leader: Joanne E. Cox, Co-Leader: Lee Beers 

Community-based interventions require a clear vision that is effectively 

communicated to participants, funders, service agencies and program staff. Logic 

models are effective, and often required, tools for communicating project plans 

with funding agencies, participants and project staff and provide a conceptual 

map that can then be followed as the project is implemented and evaluated. 

The workshop will contain 3 components: 1) presenters will introduce tools 

and methods for using logic models along with reviewing common roadblocks 

and dilemmas. The five core components of logic models (inputs, activities, 

outputs, outcomes and impact) will be discussed; 2) sample logic models from 

teen parenting, pediatric obesity and asthma interventions will be provided; 

3) participants will be asked to bring ideas for interventions to the workshop. 

Using sample templates, they will work in groups to create logic models that 

will then discussed with the larger group.

Objectives: 

- Explain the cycle of procrastination 

- Assess individual procrastination strengths and weaknesses using the cycle 

- Describe validated strategies for reducing scholarly procrastination 

- Develop a personal treatment plan to reduce scholarly procrastination in the 

future 

Leader: William A. Anderson, Co-Leaders: Dale A. Newton, Martha S. 

Grayson 

Faced with competing demands and expectations, clinician-educator faculty 

often put off scholarly activities important to their retention and promotion. 

Even if they are provided with protected time for scholarly work, they naturally 

gravitate to other less anxiety provoking tasks. Is procrastination a permanent 

condition? Are there effective treatments? 

In this workshop participants will learn findings from the literature of 

procrastination. Specifically, they will learn a conceptual model of why 

academics procrastinate, assess personal procrastination strengths and 

weaknesses, learn validated strategies for reducing procrastination, and develop 

a personal treatment plan to reduce scholarly procrastination in the future. 

The workshop will include brief presentations and small group activities. 

Participants will be provided with a copy of the presentation visuals, worksheets 

and references. 



8:00am–11:00am 

2218 Research on Child Health Disparities: Current 

Status, Common Challenges, and Potential 

Solutions 


Target Audience: Trainees and faculty interested in doing research on health 

disparities. 

Objectives: 

- Identify topics and research strategies to address child health disparities 

- Describe current state of knowledge on child health issues 

- List the common challenges in conducting research on disparities 

- Learn strategies being used to conduct effective research in health 

disparities/equity 

Leader: Renee R. Jenkins, Co-Leaders: Tina L. Cheng, Benard P. Dreyer, 

Glenn Flores, Lynn Olson, Eric Slora 

Health disparities by race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status have become 

much better understood, as well as the importance of childhood in setting life 

long trajectories. This workshop will engage participants in a discussion of what 

is needed in the next generation of research to achieve equity for children to not 

only describe disparities, but also understand how they can be addressed and the 

role pediatricians can play. Two themes will be emphasized: a) identifying gaps 

in existing research and priority goals, b) addressing barriers to disparity related 

research in pediatrics. Workshop leaders experienced in research on disparities 

will guide participants in identifying research likely to have the greatest impact 

on reducing disparities and address the practical challenges to conducting 

research in pediatric practice settings. 

8:00am–11:00am 

2220 Scholarship of Education: How to Write 

Compelling Abstracts 


Target Audience: Fellows, faculty interested in doing research/teaching/ 

curriculum development in education, residents interested in academic careers. 

Objectives: 

- Apply Glassick’s elements of scholarship to gauge whether an abstract 

addresses all criteria for scholarship 

- Identify common mistakes in written abstracts 

- Use Glassick’s elements of scholarship and knowledge of common mistakes 

to critique and modify example abstracts to enhance clarity, with a focus on 

abstracts related to medical education 

Leader: Sherilyn Smith, Co-Leaders: Lavjay Butani, Gary L. Beck, Jocelyn 

H. Schiller, Linda Tewksbury, Jean A. Petershack, Eve R. Colson, T.J. 

Jirasevijinda 

Creating well-written abstracts is a first step in disseminating scholarly work. 

Workshop organizers experienced in reviewing abstracts related to medical 

education will use short didactics and interactive exercises to enhance your 

writing skills. Following a brief didactic reviewing Glassick’s elements of 

Scholarship (2000), small groups of participants will critically review example 

abstracts in medical education using a worksheet and determine if the project 

meets all criteria for scholarship. A brief didactic will illustrate mistakes 

affecting the clarity of abstracts and participants will use a worksheet to identify 

mistakes and begin revisions. A second brief didactic will illustrate mistakes 

affecting conciseness of written abstracts and participants will continue to revise 

example abstracts in order to enhance both clarity and conciseness. Participants 

will then review revised abstracts and discuss additional resources and how to 

apply this approach to other types of scholarship. 



8:00am–11:00am 

2222 Simulation S.O.S. - Improving Patient Safety by 

Mastering Facilitation in Difficult Circumstances 


Target Audience: Individuals from all disciplines and training levels interested 

in improving medical education and/or promoting patient safety. 

Objectives: 

-Effectively facilitate using video-assisted debriefing 

-Identify ways to effectively facilitate under difficult circumstances, including 

in situ scenarios, engaging the difficult audience, and the emotionallycharged 

scenario 

-Use simulation to perform teamwork and communication training and 

identify latent safety threats, which leads to improved patient safety 

Leader: Tara R. Lang, Co-Leaders: Elizabeth A. Wetzel, Tiffany L. 

Pendergrass, Tom LeMaster, Jennifer Manos 

Simulation technology is an effective way to enhance medical education. 

Perhaps the most important aspect of the simulation experience is debriefing 

which allows learners to reflect on their performance and critically assess how 

they operate as a team. A skilled facilitator optimizes the educational experience 

even under difficult circumstances and identifies ways to improve patient care. 

Commonly encountered obstacles to a successful debriefing include time 

management during in situ scenarios, disengaged or difficult learners, and 

the emotionally-charged scenario. In small groups participants will watch 

and critique videos of debriefings. They will also watch videotaped scenarios 

and conduct the debriefings themselves, with emphasis being communication 

and teamwork behaviors, as well as overcoming difficult circumstances. The 

final exercise will be participation in and debriefing of an actual scenario. This 

workshop targets educators of all disciplines and training levels. 



8:00am–11:00am

and Self Care in the 21st Century 


Target Audience: Training program directors, trainees and interested faculty. 

Objectives: 

- Describe techniques to custom-design your interactions, with the parents/ 

guardians of a critically-ill or dying child, to reflect sensitivity to their 

family’s culture, spiritual beliefs, and level of education 

- Define pediatric palliative care; itemize methods of introducing the concept 

of palliative care to parents/guardians

- Discuss approaches to supporting yourself and your medical staff the next 

time you are involved in caring for a critically-ill or dying child 

Leader: Colette C. Mull, Co-Leaders: Evan J. Weiner, Sabina Singh, 

Christopher Haines, Emily Nichols, Mindy Dickerman, Arun Chopra 

The care of a critically ill child in the 21st century encompasses palliative care, 

staff care, and physician self care. This workshop will describe the techniques 

to custom-design your interactions, with the parents/guardians of a critically-ill 

or dying child, to reflect sensitivity to their family’s culture, spiritual beliefs, 

and level of education. Pediatric palliative care will be defined and methods 

of introducing the concept to parents/guardians will be itemized. Learners will 

participate in pre and post-workshop role plays of assigned scenarios; feedback 

will be provided in both small and large groups. Through facilitator-moderated 

small group discussion, learners will identify approaches to self-care and staff 

care in the process of treating a critically-ill child and their family. 



8:00am–11:00am 

2226 Transforming Care Delivery: Collaborative 

Care Models Supporting Optimal Primary and 

Subspecialty Care Interactions in Integrated Care 

Systems 


Target Audience: Junior and senior faculty (both subspecialty and primary 

care), fellows, residents, and system leaders with responsibility for quality 

improvement and innovation. 

Objectives: 

- Describe elements of collaborative care models and the roles that families, 

primary and subspecialty care providers play 

- Participants will construct collaborative care model frameworks that can be 

employed in their own organization 

- Identify and assess operational and financing factors critical to sustain the 

model 

Leader: Richard C. Antonelli, Co-Leader: Scott Pomeroy 

Though very traditional, delivering face-to-face subspecialty care is not always 

the most cost effective, family-centered strategy. In order to deliver high value 

care to patients and families, and to more efficiently utilize the resources 

of primary care Medical Home and subspecialty settings, new models of 

collaboration between primary care providers (PCP’s) and subspecialists (SP’s) 

need to be developed. In the opening portion of the workshop, the team will 

discuss how stakeholders associated with Children’s Hospital Boston, including 

families, integrated care delivery system leaders, community-based Medical 

Home providers, and pediatric neurologists, approached the issue of optimizing 

“access” for patients with chronic headaches by creating collaborative linkages. 

We will highlight the strategic, financial, quality, and family-centered aspects of 

this transformative model. In the second portion, utilizing the tools shared by the 

leadership team, workshop participants will design and plan the implementation 

of collaborative care models that can be employed in their own organizations.

medicine specialists. 

Objectives: 

- Participants will be able to recommend appropriate vitamin D replacement 

for children and adolescents with bone disease and those identified to have 

vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency 

- Evaluate the regulation of phosphate metabolism in patients with bone 

disease 

- Outline a management plan for dialysis patients with hyperparathyroidisminduced

treatment of hypoparathyroidism 

Chairs: Laura K. Bachrach, Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, CA 

and John S. Fuqua, Riley Hospital for Children and Indiana University School 

of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN 

Pediatric bone disease has become a well recognized and important aspect of 

health care, as disorders of skeletal mineralization result in lifelong effects. 

Although vitamin D has a well known role in calcium and bone metabolism, it 

also has important effects in other organ systems, and vitamin D insufficiency 

has become widespread in the general population. Regulatory mechanisms 

for phosphate homeostasis have recently been elucidated, and their role in 

disease has become apparent. New advances in the management of parathyroid 

disease in patients with renal failure and others include the use of calcimimetic 

agents and exploration of parathyroid hormone replacement therapy in chronic 

hypoparathyroidism.

Target Audience: General pediatricians, pediatric immunology and infectious 

disease specialists 

Objectives: 

- To improve the knowledge about the clinical features and pathophysiology 

of primary immunodeficiencies and about newly identified primary 

immunodeficiencies based on the immunogenetic background 

- To know the methods for the precise and rapid diagnosis, and screening of 

these disorders 

Chairs: Toshio Heike, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan and Shigeaki 

Nonoyama, National Defense Medical College, Tokorozawa, Japan 

Primary immunodeficiencies are a group of more than 200 clinically and 

immunologically defined disorders of various degrees of severity. The rapid 

progress of research in this field has enabled accurate diagnosis based on the 

molecular immunology. Early diagnosis and identification of underlying genetic 

defect, according to the updated classification of primary immunodeficiencies, 

have implications for the most appropriate treatment. In Session II, we want to 

focus on the cause, clinical manifestation, and pathophysiology of PID.

Kumar, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, NY 

The past decade has seen an exponential increase in both basic and translational 

research on the novel roles of vitamin D metabolites in biology. Vitamin D 

receptors have been identified in endothelial, vascular smooth muscle, 

cardiomyocyte, skeletal muscle, immune and pancreatic beta cells as well as 

neurons. Vitamin D has potential novel therapeutic uses for diabetes, cancer, 

cardiovascular, neurologic and auto-immune diseases. It is also realized that 

vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent than previously thought. This symposium

Objective: 

- To understand new findings of prolonged antiviral suppression of HSV and 

new management considerations for pregnancies complicated by HSV 

Chair: David A. Kaufman, University of Virginia Children’s Hospital, 

Charlottesville, VA 

Poor neurodevelopmental outcomes and cutaneous recurrences remain frequent 

among survivors of neonatal Herpes simplex virus (HSV) disease. The National 

Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Collaborative Antiviral 

Study Group (CASG) evaluated the ability of oral acyclovir suppressive therapy 

to impact these outcomes in an RCT. Neonates with HSV disease following 

completion of parenteral acyclovir were randomized to immediate acyclovir 

suppression (300 mg/m2 /dose orally 3 times daily for 6 months) or placebo. 

Subjects randomized to acyclovir suppression had significantly higher mean 

Bayley Scales of Infant Development Mental Scores at 12 months compared 

with the placebo patients (88.24 vs. 68.12, p=0.046). Infants surviving neonatal 

HSV CNS disease have improved neurodevelopmental outcomes when started 

immediately on suppressive oral acyclovir therapy for six months. Additionally, 

antiviral suppression after both CNS and skin, eye, mouth (SEM) disease 

decreases skin lesion recurrences. This study and an update on perinatal, 

intrapartum and neonatal management will be discussed.

- Recognize the importance of orientation in setting the teaching and learning 

agenda 

- Understand differences between feedback and evaluation 

Leader: Lewis R. First 

With increasing pressures to treat patients as efficiently as possible, teaching 

of medical students and residents has become more of a burden or even an 

afterthought and less of a major priority in the clinical setting. Effective, efficient 

and innovative teaching strategies are needed. This workshop will provide attendees 

with such strategies to aid in the faculty development of those responsible for 

teaching medical students and residents. Mock teaching codes, videotapes, and 

other live demonstrations and discussions will be used to highlight the techniques 

and innovations to be introduced and then used by participants. 

Content areas will focus on the importance of a good orientation, feedback, 

evaluation and creative teaching techniques that will resolve conflicts with time 

constraints and make teaching effective, innovative, (maybe even fun) and a 

true learning experience for all involved. 



12:00pm–3:00pm 

2504 Feedback: It’s No Longer Just a Sandwich 


Target Audience: Residents, fellows, junior, mid-level and senior faculty. 

Objectives:

-Describe barriers to giving and receiving feedback and strategies to overcome 

these 

-Demonstrate 3 different feedback techniques in daily teaching encounters 

Leader: Michele Saysana, Co-Leaders: Sarah L. Hill, Chris Peltier 

Feedback is critical to improving the performance of trainees in every setting 

from outpatient continuity clinic to bedside rounds. This highly interactive 

workshop will define feedback and discuss about how it differs from evaluation 

and reflection. We will review types of feedback and discuss strategies to deliver 

feedback. Using video vignettes, we will introduce 3 different feedback strategies: 

the feedback sandwich, the Pendleton model, and the Transtheoretical model of 

feedback. Participants will be divided into small groups and practice each of 

the different techniques with video scenarios depicting patient encounters from 

outpatient and inpatient settings. At the end of the workshop, participants will 

be asked to commit to change one aspect of their current feedback practice. 



12:00pm–3:00pm 

2506 Health Policy: Creating Change Through Research 

and Getting Involved

policy choices 

- Learn strategies to obtain funding for health policy research and how to 

balance health policy activity with academic careers 

- Examine opportunities to participate directly in the formation of health care 

policy in both the United States and Canada 

- Assess potential implications of the Affordable Care Act and opportunities 

for health policy research 

Leader: Patrick H. Conway, Co-Leaders: Lisa Simpson, Gerry Fairbrother, Jim 

Perrin, Charlotte Moore, Astrid Guttmann 

Many pediatricians and researchers want to develop research that successfully 

informs health policy and/or directly participate in policy activities but may 

need guidance on how to get started or shift their focus. Our workshop includes 

national health policy research leaders from both the U.S. and Canada who 

have led multitudes of research projects within academia as well as federal and 

state health policy initiatives. The workshop also includes pediatricians who 

currently or previously have served in significant policy roles in the United 

States and Canada. We will use specific policy examples, including potential 

implications and opportunities for research generated by passage of reform and 

authorization statutes such as ACA, CHIPRA, and HITECH, and encourage 

group participation to develop policy toolkits. 



12:00pm–3:00pm

- Explain the advantages of piloting a survey 

Leader: April O. Buchanan, Co-Leaders: Amy E. Fleming, Adam R. 

Weinstein, Mary E. M. Rocha, Jocelyn H. Schiller, Joseph Gigante, Julie K. 

Stamos

Survey methodology offers one approach to educational research and 

scholarship. Many clinicians lack training in survey design which can result 

in poorly designed questions and poor data quality. The goal of this workshop 

is to introduce attendees to survey planning, development, and administration. 

Utilizing professionalism as an example, participants will draft a plan for a 

study using a survey to collect data. Objectives, population and sampling, and 

options for administration will be discussed. Participants will review and edit 

survey questions for inclusion in a survey, with attention to question design. 

Sample questions and surveys will be provided for review, and participants 

who have a survey which they have designed are encouraged to bring their own 

work. The workshop will conclude with a discussion regarding the importance 

of piloting. All participants will receive an annotated bibliography about survey 

design, with examples of published survey research.

improved efficiency and safety of medical care for children. 

12:00pm–3:00pm 

2516 Reviewing for Medical Journals: Improving Peer 

Review 


Target Audience: Fellows and faculty interested in acquiring or improving skills 

in providing peer review to medical journals 

Objectives: 

- Describe the peer review process 

- Discuss the components of a high qulity review 

- Demonstrate how to present and structure a review to maximize the benefit 

to authors and editors 

Leader: Samir S. Shah, Co-Leaders: Raj Srivastava, Christopher P. Landrigan, 

Vincent W. Chiang 

The peer-review process plays an important role in determining whether a 

manuscript is published. Most fellows and faculty in academic institutions 

and some physicians practicing in the community have participated in the peer 

review process. However, they have received little or no formal training in how 

to produce a helpful review. This interactive session provides participants with 

tools to productively participate in the peer review process. This session will: 

1) Demystify the review process by providing the perspective of two journals 

editors and clarifying the reviewer selection process (including blinded vs. 

unblinded reviews and authorsuggested vs. editor-selected reviewers); 2) 

Provide suggestions on how to present and structure a review for maximum 

benefit to authors and editors (e.g., identify reviewer responsibilities, discuss 

specific approaches to manuscript review, and highlight important issues 

such as confidential comments to the editor); 3) An interactive componenent 

includes small group discussions to conduct reviews of previously submitted 

manuscripts and receive feedback.

2518 Revisiting How We Think: Innovative Ideas for 

Promoting and Assessing Clinical Reasoning 


Target Audience: Students/Residents/Fellows/Faculty interested in developing 

their own clinical reasoning skills as well as educators interested in improving 

learners clinical reasoning skills. 

Objectives: 

- Expand skills for identifying and classifying diagnostic reasoning errors 

- Practice using tools and meta-cognitive strategies for developing learners’ 

clinical reasoning abilities, including understanding how to use problem 

representation, semantic qualifiers, and co-selection in teaching 

- Apply principles of self-reflection, role modeling, and deliberate practice in 

exercises to promote and remediate clinical reasoning 

- Adapt techniques for promoting clinical reasoning to one’s own institution 

Leader: Rebecca Blankenburg, Co-Leaders: Michele Long, Glenn Rosenbluth, 

Nicole Marsico, Erin Augustine, Melissa Dunagan, Julie Pantaleoni, Elizabeth 

Stuart, Noelle Johnstone 

Ever struggled with how to assess and teach clinical reasoning skills, especially 

in the context of a busy clinical setting? Stemming from an evidence-based 

approach and experience with remediating learners at their home institutions, 

the presenters have developed techniques to promote clinical reasoning skills 

in all learners. In this interactive workshop using clinical vignettes, video 

clips, and facilitated small group activities, participants will learn strategies 

for identifying and classifying learners’ diagnostic errors. Participants will 

then apply key clinical reasoning elements of problem representation, semantic 

qualifiers, and co-selection through a number of small group exercises, which 

they can modify for their own institutions. Applicable to all learners interested 

in developing their own skills, as well as educators interested in improving 

learners’ abilities, participants will leave the workshop with step-by-step 

instructions for immediate implementation. 



12:00pm–3:00pm 

2520 Surviving and Thriving Without 24-Hour Call: The 

Art and Science of Schedule Re-Engineering 


Target Audience: Program directors, faculty, chief residents, fellows, residents 

and program coordinators interested in implementing ACGME’s proposed 

changes in duty hours. 

Objectives: 

- Demonstrate familiarity with the literature, and on adverse effects of sleep 

deprivation on resident performance 

- Implement a process to secure buy-in of proposed schedule changes from all 

stakeholders 

- Redesign a program’s on-call schedule to comply with all current ACGME 

duty hours regulations as well as the proposed 16-hour maximum shift length 

- Optimize both continuity of patient care and continuity of resident learning 

in the re-engineered schedule 

Leader: Susan G. Mautone, Co-Leader: Tina A. Leone 

Further modification of resident work hours will likely be necessary subsequent 

to the recently-published Proposed Standards on Duty Hours by the ACGME 

Task Force on Quality Care and Professionalism. The pediatric residency 

program at UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School and the neonatology fellowship 

program at UC-San Diego have eliminated 24-hour call since 2004 and 2007 

respectively, while maintaining continuous full accreditation. In this workshop, 

leaders will review the evidence regarding sleep deprivation and physician 

performance and will share their experiences with modifying schedules to meet 

program goals. Participants will work to develop different scheduling options 

for their own programs which comply with the ACGME standards while 

maintaining key educational goals including ensuring appropriate patient care 

experiences, maximizing continuity of care, minimizing transitions of care, and 

allowing adequate time availability for learning and scholarly activity. 

12:00pm–3:00pm 

2522 Turning Your Quality Improvement Project into 

Publishable Research 


Target Audience: Residents, fellows, and faculty performing quality 

improvement. 

Objectives: 

- Describe important features of a competitive quality improvement (QI) paper 

for peer-reviewed publication, which include rigorous QI methods 

- Practice identifying rigorous methods, selecting a target journal, and 

outlining a paper for a sample QI project 

- Identify study methods, select a target journal, and outline a paper for their 

own QI project 

Leader: Kathleen E. Walsh, Co-Leaders: Sandy Jee, Christopher Stille 

Do you have a quality improvement project you would like to publish? Led by 

three pediatric academicians who have built careers in quality improvement, 

this workshop, for residents, fellows, and faculty performing QI, will lead 

participants through the entire publication process. We will share rigorous QI 

study methods, sample articles from journals interested in QI, and will lead 

participants through the process of study design and outlining a paper using 

a one-page tool. Participants will then identify a target journal for their own 

project, outline a paper, and receive feedback from their peers and workshop 

leaders on their outline. Participants will leave the workshop prepared to writeup 

their QI projects on the flight home. 



12:00pm–3:00pm 

2524 Using the Electronic Medical Record to Teach 

and Improve Patient Care: A Model to Make Your 

Learners Happier, Your Patients Healthier and Your 

Life Easier 


Target Audience: Any faculty, residents, students or community practitioners 

interested in information management and EMRs. 

Objectives: 

- Recognize current and emerging terminology related to electronic medical 

records and its application in self-directed learning 

- Describe the issues faced when creating a digital reference library for 

purposes of trainee education 

- Propose a preliminary plan to integrate a digital reference library into your 

workflow tailored to your EMR or non-EMR practice group and learners 

- Compare and contrast digital referencing and EMR integration in trainee 

education from both the inpatient and outpatient perspectives 

Leader: Edward Sepe, Co-Leaders: Ellen K. Hamburger, Dewesh Agrawal, 

April Troy, Aisha Davis 

Ever find yourself plagued with questions like: Where is that article? Didn’t I 

see a guideline for that? 

Are you worried your trainees are just winging it and planning to look up the 

evidence based answer later? Worry no more! The electronic medical record 

(EMR) provides clinicians, educators, and trainees with the potential for access 

to information needed for evidence-based patient care. A click of a mouse 

delivers the needed reference. This capability is referred to as point of care 

referencing. 

Since implementation of an EMR in our out-patient teaching setting, workshop 

leaders have developed a Quality Improvement project with residents to 

embed our EMR with such references with two goals in mind: informing and 

improving patient care at the time of the clinical encounter, developing a library 

of pertinent reading for trainees self-directed learning that is directly relevant 

to their patient care.

After an introduction which outlines the decision points and process of point of 

care referencing and demonstrates its use in both the inpatient and outpatient 

settings, we will break into small groups for novice and expert participants to 

plan inclusion of such materials for their learners and their particular teaching 

setting. The second half of the workshop will focus on medical education 

implications for point of care referencing. Guided by interest demonstrated 

in the small groups, this section can include: metrics for evaluating learning 

and/or improvements in patient care, systems logistics, or designing trainee 

quality improvement projects. Participants will leave the workshop with a plan 

for implementation of point of care referencing in their present or future EMR 

at their home institution. 

12:00pm–3:00pm 

2530 Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics 


Chair: Daniel Coury, Daniel.Coury@Nationwidechildrens.org 

An estimated 20% of preschool children have behavior problems that are serious 

enough to warrant intervention, yet few receive the support needed to resolve 

these issues. This session will provide pediatric healthcare providers with a 

systematic problem-solving process to help caregivers understand and address 

challenging behavior problems and promote healthy development in young 

children. Presented by Dr. Jillian Williams, participants will learn how to gather 

information to assess behavioral issues and monitor progress using evidencebased 

learning strategies. Participants will learn and practice evidence-based 

behavioral strategies that reduce problem behaviors, promote compliance, and 

increase the use of verbal and functional skills.

2650 Accelerating Research and Product Development 

for Rare Diseases 


Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians working with pediatric disorders, 

most of which are, by definition, rare. 

Objective: 

- To understand the broad spectrum of needs of children with rare diseases, as 

well as emerging opportunities to advantage their medical outcomes through 

more productive and accelerated research leading to new diagnostics and 

therapeutics 

Chair: Thomas F. Boat, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, 


Approximately 7000 rare diseases in aggregate represent much of pediatric 

chronic disease. Most are not readily diagnosed or effectively treated. This 

session will present highlights of an IOM report focused to enhancing rare 

disease research and orphan product development by pediatric members of 

the committee. Topics discussed will include the definition, epidemiology, 

and current status of medical management and research for rare diseases, the 

continuum of activities from discovery of biological targets or biomarkers 

for specific diseases through the identification and testing of products that 

have potential as diagnostic or therapeutic agents. Recommendations for 

infrastructure improvements that can overcome barriers and accelerate 

navigation of the product development pathway, including regulatory (FDA) 

processes for orphan product approval, will be presented. The symposium will 

also outline a proposed integrated national policy to promote more certain 

and timely progress with rare diseases research and more effectively support 

investigators of rare diseases.

Janet Williams, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, TX 

Adolescent substance use is a significant public health concern. (SAMHSA 

2009) Research on brain development shows the value of focusing prevention 

and early intervention efforts on adolescents: those who reach the age of 21 

without developing an addiction are unlikely to do so afterwards. The Center 

for Substance Abuse Treatment and the American Academy of Pediatrics 

recommend screening all adolescents for substance use, making brief 

interventions and referring those with the most serious disorders as part of 

routine health care. (SAMHSA 2009) This treatment framework is referred to 

as Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment, or SBIRT. The focus 

of this mini-course is to present a research-informed and practical office-based 

adolescent SBIRT algorithm as well as supplementary strategies that physicians 

can use to identify and treat adolescent substance use in primary care. We will 

also present the research on which these recommendations are based.

2660 Best Pharmaceutical for Children Act (BPCA) and 

Opportunities for CTSA Collaboration 


Target Audience: Clinical, translational, basic, behavioral and health services 

research investigators engaged in implementing studies aimed at short-term 

outcome measures.

Objectives: 

- To advance the understanding of the potential effectiveness of CTSA 

collaboration in pediatrics as best exemplified by the BPCA Pediatric 

Administrative Supplements 

- To gain knowledge of the CTSA networks and resources in pediatric research 

in order to facilitate collaborations and future investigations 

Chairs: Charlotte A. Hobbs, University of Arkansas, Little Rock, AR and 

Frederick J. Kaskel, Montefiore Medical Center of AECOM, Bronx, NY 

The purpose of the Best Pharmaceuticals this program was to stimulate 

collaborative, multidisciplinary basic and clinical research to 1) facilitate the 

development of qualified outcome measures and 2) relate non-clinical to clinical 

outcome assessments in child health for improving the evaluation of interventions 

and/or 3) assess and interpret clinical outcomes. Furthermore, a major goal of 

the announcement was to improve the likelihood of success of pediatric clinical 

trials, especially drug trials, by identifying more reliable predictors and markers 

of outcomes. Projects involved multiple CTSA institutions and focused on 

development of correlations between non-clinical assessments and child health 

clinical outcomes, harmonization of clinical outcome measures across different 

age groups, development of predictive biomarkers and/or age appropriate 

outcome measures in one of the priority areas.

2665 Emerging Zoonotic-Human Viruses: Are They Really 

New? 


Target Audience: Researchers and clinicians who wish to understand current 

knowledge on possible mechanisms by which viruses are maintained in animal 

populations and are transmitted to humans, and by which viruses adapt to cause 

human disease. 

Objective: 

- To understand the determinants of virus host switching from animals to 

humans and the relevance to emerging human viruses 

Chairs: Mark R. Denison, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, 

Nashville, TN and Stanley Perlman, University of Iowa Hospital & Clinics, 

Iowa City, IA 

There is increasing recognition that new human viruses may result from host 

switching from zoonotic sources such as bats and pigs, as exemplified by SARS, 

Influenza, Ebola and Hendra/Niphah viruses. Some animals such as bats may 

represent greater than twenty percent of mammalian species and have unique 

characteristics that may make them excellent reservoirs for potential crossspecies 

human viruses. New approaches are emerging for rapid identification 

of animal viruses and determination of their potential for human disease. The 

session will address the key features of viruses that may be critical in their 

ability to jump species, as well as the unique features of bat biology and ecology 

that may favor the maintenance of virus populations. Specific examples of virus 



transmission, virus-host evolution and disease will highlight the importance of 

animals and new emerging human viruses.

2670 Futility Controversies: Ethical and Legal 

Considerations 


Target Audience: Clinicians who care for critically ill or dying patients. 

Objective: 

- To understand the legal and philosophic basis for controversies about 

medical futility, be familiar with legal cases, laws and policies that address 

medical futility, and have strategies for dealing with such controversies 

Chair: John D. Lantos, University of Missouri, Kansas City, MO 

In pediatric clinical ethics today, the most common and intractable controversy 

is about medically futile therapy. Doctors and nurses get frustrated when they 

believe that further medical treatment is futile, but family members insist that 

treatment be continued. For professionals, such demands create a clash between 

their own personal moral beliefs and perceived legal or institutional constraints 

that force them to act in ways that violate those beliefs. Bioethicists are 

divided about the appropriate response to such dilemmas. Many professional 

societies, some hospitals, and some states have policies or laws to deal with 

these controversies. In this session, we will discuss the legal and philosophic 

basis for the conflict, review laws, legal cases, and statutes that are designed to 

address the issues, and will suggest ways that clinicians can respond to futility 

conflicts. 

Dr. Truog, an Anesthesiologist, Intensivist, and Bioethicist, will discuss the 

ways in which futile care might be symbolically important to family members. 

Dr. Feudtner, a general pediatrician, palliative care physician, and bioethicist 

will discuss the ways in which discussions with families about hope can help 

redirect the goals of care from life-prolongation toward the circumstances of 

dying. Dr. Meadow, a neonatologist and bioethicist, will present cases from 

the NICU in which futility controversies were successfully resolved. He will 

present conversational strategies to help clinicians reach agreements with 

parents about appropriate care.

2675 Longitudinal Children’s Studies: A Global 

Perspective 

PAS Topic Symposium~Korbel 4A 

Target Audience: Clinicians, researchers, policymakers. 

Objectives: 

- To describe and compare the objectives and methods of the Danish National 

Birth Cohort study, the Japanese Environment and Children’s Study, and the 

United States’ National Children’s Study 

- To highlight the similarities and differences as well as the strengths and 

limitations of these population-based studies of child health 

Chairs: Elena Fuentes-Afflick, University of California, San Francisco, 

CA and Shumpei Yokota, Yokohama City University School of Medicine, 

Yokohama, Japan 

There is a growing interest in population-based studies of child health and the 

determinants of child health and human development. This special symposium 

will provide a global perspective on three longitudinal studies of child health: 

the Danish, Japanese, and United States studies. The Danish National Birth 

Cohort study, the Japanese Environment & Children’s Study, and the US 

National Children’s Study are all large-scale, population-based studies with 

long-term follow-up, yet the focus of each study is unique. The Danish study is 

a well-established study which focuses on gene-environment relationships; the 

Japanese and American studies focus on the impact of environmental factors 

on child health and development. In this session we will compare the purpose 

and methodologic approaches of the studies and discuss their strengths and 

limitations.

2780 Activity Dependent Brain Wiring: Implications for 

Neonatal Brain Injury and Repair 


Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians involved with any aspect of neonatal 

brain injury including basic mechanisms, neuroimaging, intensive care of 

newborns with brain injury, neonatal neurology, and follow-up of infants with 

neonatal brain injury. 

Objective: 

- To describe changes in aEEG background and fMRI with insight into normal 

development of cortical networks. 

- To appreciate the impact of brain injury and treatment on activity-dependent 

cortical development and plasticity, including effects on recovery and longterm 

neurodevelopmental outcomes 

Chairs: Linda S. de Vries, Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital, Utrecht, The 

Netherlands and Patrick S. McQuillen, University of California San Francisco 

School of Medicine, San Francisco, CA 

Background electrical activity in the cerebral cortex of premature newborns is 

characterized by bursts alternating with near silence, trac[eacute] discontinu. 

This activity arises spontaneously at multiple levels in the nervous system with 

temporal and spatial restriction. At a cellular level, activity is fundamentally 

involved in brain wiring by controlling the expression of proteins involved in 

synapse formation, neurotransmission and cortical plasticity. With development, 

synchronized rhythmic activity appears and is associated with nascent cortical 

networks that can be identified using functional MRI. Neonatal brain injury and 

it’s treatment dramatically alters brain electrical activity, potentially disrupting 

normal cortical development with implications for seizure, epilepsy and 

cognition.

2785 Ethical Controversies in Pediatric Biobanks 


Target Audience: Scientists who collect and store pediatric tissues for research; 

scientists who engage in genetic/genomic research; and colleagues who serve 

on institutional review boards or research ethics consultation services. 

Objectives: 

- To encourage researchers and members of institutional review boards to 

understand the controversies raised by the policies that surround populationbased 

biobanks with a particular emphasis on biobanks that enroll children 

and store pediatric samples 

- To provide guidance regarding the range of ethical solutions 

Chair: Steven Leuthner, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 

New technologies are increasing the types of research that can be conducted on 

stored tissue and blood samples, and multiplex approaches permit the detection 

of millions of genetic variations simultaneously. Advances in computer 

technologies make it possible to link genomic data with an enormous amount 

of clinical and other data about individuals, at times uncovering potentially 

significant genetic risk factors; but often uncovering genetic variations of 

unknown significance. These issues take on immediacy given the extensive 

number of biobanks that exist and that are being developed. In this symposia, 

the various research ethics questions raised by pediatric biobanks will be 

addressed. Speakers will examine: 1) consent issues including broad consent, 

re-consent and the evolving role of the minor; 2) the use of residual newborn 

blood spots for research; 3) policies regarding whether and when to return 

individual genetic results; and 4) biobank governance issues.

2790 RDS to ARDS: Efficacy of Cutting Edge Therapies 

Across Different Age Groups and Etiologies 

PAS State of the Art Plenary~Korbel 1A/D 

Target Audience: Neonatologists, critical care specialists, cardiologists, 

pulmonologists and pediatric surgeons. 



Objective: 

- To understand the pathophysiology of acute lung injury and hypoxic 

respiratory failure in newborns, young infants and children and gain insight 

into management approaches used by different disciplines 

Chairs: Lucky Jain, Emory University & Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, 

Atlanta, GA and George Lister, University of Texas Southwestern, Dallas, TX 

Respiratory failure in the newborn, infant and young child varies in etiology 

and complexity, offering a unique challenge for the neonatologist and 

intensivist. In spite of cutting edge therapies like high frequency ventilation, 

surfactant, nitric oxide and ECMO, morbidity and mortality in this cohort 

remains high. Significant differences also persist in how hypoxic respiratory 

failure is approached in the NICU, PICU and CICU environments. This stateof-the-art 

session will bring together leading experts in the field of neonatology,

2795 Transgenerational Inheritance of Human 

Diseases: Impact and Consequences of Epigenetic 

Alternations 

PAS State of the Art Plenary~Korbel 2A/3A 

Target Audience: Basic and translational scientists as well as practicing clinicians 

who wish to understand the impact of transient exposure to environmental 

toxins on transgenerational epigenetic errors leading to developmental defects 

and heritable human diseases. 

Objectives: 

- To understand, the interplay of environmental susceptibility, epigenetic 

alteration and phenotype impacting human health and diseases 

- To understand epigenetic memory, transgenerational heritable disorders / 

diseases resulting from transient exposure to environmental agents, nutrients, 

hormones and medications 

- To understand epigenetic profiling techniques, and possible reversal of the 

disease through removal of the stressor using targeted epigenetic therapeutics 

Chairs: Mala R. Chinoy, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, 

MA and Thomas P. Shanley, C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, University of 

Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 

Developmental origins of pediatric or adult diseases and their transgenerational 

impact have enormous implications on human health and well-being. 

Environmental toxicants entering a human system of an individual, community 

or society today can lead to disease susceptibility in future generations. 

Scientific attention on early life / in utero transient exposure to environmental 

agents – external or internal – such as pollutants including smoke and toxic 

industrial chemicals, plastics and pesticides, dietary preferences of mother, 

hormonal supplements and medications, can reprogram Epigenome through 

DNA methylation. The epigenetic changes result in chronic lung and heart 

diseases; autoimmune diseases such as lupus and arthritis; neurological disorders 

such as autism and bipolar disorder; cancers; diabetes; obesity; metabolic 

diseases; infertility. This session is intended for a better understanding of 

transgenerational impact and consequences of environmental exposure in early 

life, identify epigenetically labile targets and develop epigenetic therapeutics to 

reverse the disease condition / improve human health.

Health Reform and New Delivery System Models, 

What do Emerging Accountable Care Organizations 

(ACOs) Mean for Pediatrics? 

PAS Breakfast~Korbel 4B 

Target Audience: Scientists, clinicians, and those interested in policy and public 

health pertaining to children. 

Chair: Leona Cuttler, Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, Case Western 

Reserve University, Cleveland, OH 

Health reform legislation included incentives for new delivery system models 

and pilot programs across public and private payers. One such model in 

Medicaid is the pediatric Accountable Care Organization (ACO) in which 

services are delivered in integrated organizations of providers. ACOs are 

emerging as a major change in delivery systems, and the implications for 

Pediatrics are important. With particular emphasis on ACOs, this session will 

briefly review the models for new delivery systems proposed in the Affordable 

Care Act, describe the status of implementation and review the evidence, and 

consider ways to implement ACOs.

Disability: Update on Translational Research in 

Genetic Syndromes 


Target Audience: Researchers and clinicians who study and provide care for 

children with intellectual disability. 

Objective: 

- To describe neuropathology associated with intellectual disability 

in individuals with genetic syndromes, summarize findings from 

psychopharmacologic animal model studies that have shown improvements 

in learning and memory, and identify potential agents to treat and prevent 

intellectual disability in children 

Chairs: William J. Barbaresi, Childrens Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical 

School, Boston, MA and R. Franklin Trimm, University of South Alabama

There is exciting translational research currently ongoing for several specific 

genetic syndromes that suggests there may be effective pharmacotherapy to 

treat intellectual disability. This session will present research findings from 

animal models of Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, and 

neurofibromatosis demonstrating that learning and memory can be improved 

using drugs that target the specific signaling pathways involved in each of 

these disorders. The potential for translation of these findings to humans will 

be explored. The session will be valuable to all pediatricians who care for 

children with intellectual disability and should be aware of this new horizon 

of research.

3115 Rational Approach to Transfusion in the Critically 

Ill 


Target Audience: Scientists and clinicans involved with the care of critically ill 

children and neonates and the study of transfusion medicine. 

Objectives: 

- To understand the impact of storage upon RBC function 

- Understand findings from current transfusion literature and its relevance to 

decision making in clinical practice 

- To learn state of the art technique for monitoring O2 delivery to tissue and its 

relevance to determining need for RBC transfusion. 

- To balance risk and benefit of transfusion with particular attention to the 

unique clinical features of selected patient populations 

Chairs: Allan Doctor, Washington University, Saint Louis, MO and Jacques 

Lacroix, CHU Sainte Justine Research Center, Montreal, Canada 

A mounting body of evidence indicates that red blood cell transfusion carries 

significant risk (beyond transmission of infection) and fails to improve, or 

paradoxically - reduces delivery of oxygen to tissue. RBCs are prepared and 

stored in cold additive solutions for up to six weeks. These non-physiological 

storage conditions result in the red cell ‘storage lesion’, which alters RBC 

function in a fashion that is of importance both to clinical practitioners and 

investigators. Here we review: 1) the current state of knowledge about the red 

cell storage lesion, 2) current clinical trials examining the efficacy of RBC 

transfusion and the impact of donor RBC age upon outcome in transfusion 

recipients, 3) state of the art methodology for monitoring O2 delivery to tissue 

(to inform transfusion decision making), and 4) an approach to balancing risks 

and benefit of transfusion in selected patient populations commonly encountered 

in clinical practice.

3200 Closing the Gap Between Discovery and Delivery: 

The State of the Art of Late Stage Translational 

Research 


Target Audience: Scientists, clinicians and policy experts who are involved the 

widespread implementation of evidence based research will be interested in 

the application of dissemination and implementation science to the spread of 

effective interventions. 

Objectives: 

-To describe enabling policies and strategies for late stage translational 

research in the discovery and spread of new findings 

-To describe methods to design their research to enhance spread 

-Demonstrate how to use existing advice seeking networks to enhance the 

diffusion of their research results 

-To gain ability to research strategies to describe and apply a set of outcomes 

measures that document level of scale-up and spread of an intervention 

Leader: David A. Bergman, Co-Leader: Arne Beck 

The gap between research and wide-spread change in practice is well documented, 

large and persistent. This session will address the problems and solutions of late 

stage translation or how to bring effective interventions to scale. During the 

session we will present the latest research in dissemination and implementation 

science and how this work impacts the design of research to ensure translation 

of research into practice. This will include a presentation of the RE-AIM 

framework (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance) 

to construct research designs that will enhance spread. We will also discuss the 

use of social networks and social marketing techniques to enhance diffusion 

of interventions, and the employment of research methodologies such as the 

practical clinical trial to assess outcomes as you scale-up your intervention 

across different target groups. Finally we will discuss strategies and policies for 

enhancing the late stage translation of research.

8:30am–11:30am 

3202 Dollars and Sense: How to Understand (or 

Undertake) Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in 

Pediatrics 


Target Audience: Residents, fellows and faculty interested in investigating 

cost issues in pediatrics. No previous experience with economic evaluation is 

required. 

Objectives: 

-Describe the common categories and approaches to economic evaluations 

-Describe the key components of a cost-effectiveness analysis 

-Identify potential threats to validity of economic evaluations 

-Apply a critical appraisal template to guide review of published economic 

evaluations 

Leader: John A. Zupancic, Co-Leaders: Dmitry Dukhovny, Jochen Profit, 

Karen Kamholz, Scott Lorch 

The stunning medical progress of the past three decades has been accompanied 

by even more rapid growth in the costs of care. The tools of economic 

evaluation, in particular cost-effectiveness analysis, allow us to measure the 

value for money of these new technologies, so that limited resources yield the 

greatest possible improvements in child health. Participants in this workshop 

will gain an understanding of the components of a valid economic evaluation 

and the critical appraisal skills to determine whether economic information is 

reliable. No previous understanding of economic valuation is required. The 

workshop will be presented in several modules covering the fundamental 

elements of successful economic evaluation, including perspective, categories 

of costs, measures of effect, integration of costs and effects and estimation 

of uncertainty. Each module will include a brief didactic session followed 

by facilitated small-group discussions, in which participants will apply the 

information to planning that component of their own economic evaluation. In 

the final module, participants will apply a literature review template to critically 

appraise the study they have designed. 



8:30am–11:30am 

3204 Effective Strategies for Successfully Diagnosing and 

Resuscitating the Problem Learner 


Target Audience: Residents, fellows, and faculty at all levels who have an 

interest in teaching. 

Objectives: 

-Recognize and describe different classes and types of problem learners 

-Identify your own teaching style preferences and how they impact your 

teaching interactions 

-Demonstrate and practice effective strategies for dealing with problem 

learners 

-Formulate your plan to use these concepts in your next encounter with the 

difficult learner 

Leader: Chris Peltier, Co-Leaders: Melissa Klein, Michele Saysana, Sarah Hill 

Academic and community pediatricians are expected to juggle the responsibilities 

of teaching learners, with varying levels of interest and experience, while 

handling demanding clinical responsibilities. Many of these pediatricians 

have had little training in effective teaching strategies and less experience in 

dealing with the problem learner. Even to the most seasoned clinical teachers, 

learners with cognitive or behavioral difficulties can be extremely challenging. 

This interactive workshop, facilitated by a diverse group of community and 

academic pediatricians, working in both outpatient and inpatient settings, will 

explore the different classes and types of problem learners and the difficulties 

managing these learners via videotaped scenarios. The S-T-P (Specify-Target- 

Plan) model will be introduced as a process that incorporates feedback and 

problem solving in managing the problem learner. The session will conclude 



with small group role play exercises to allow participants to practice this new 

method in preparation for their next encounter with the problem learner. 



8:30am–11:30am 

3208 Public Speaking Advanced Life Support (PAL-S): 

Breathing Life Back Into Your Public Speaking 

Skills 


Target Audience: This workshop will appeal to students, residents, fellows, and 

all level of faculty interested in improving their public speaking skills. 

Objectives: 

-Demonstrate the educational value of developing public speaking skills 

-Develop participant’s public speaking abilities to foster effective habits 

-Define timely and constructive feedback for improving public speaking skills 

in others 

Leader: Jason (Jay) Homme, Co-Leaders: Molly Ness, Malinda Harris, 

Nathaniel Taggart, Angela Miller, Janet Rasmussen 

Great public speakers aren’t born...they’re made. The skills critical to effective 

public speaking can be taught and practice results in improvement. Interpersonal 

and Communication Skills are considered Core ACGME Competencies for all 

pediatricians. Nearly all pediatricians will give formal presentations but few 

receive specific training. Effective public speaking addresses the audience 

needs, has defined learning objectives, is organized around those objectives, 

and engages the audience. This leads to improved retention of information and 

changes in behavior. This interactive workshop will help participant resuscitate 

their own skills for public speaking. Small and large group activities will focus 

on developing a tool-kit for public speaking including exercises in writing 

learning objectives, slide formatting, developing titles, presentation skills, and 

providing (and receiving) feedback. Participants will view video clips, slide 

examples, and apply feedback tools during much of this engaging workshop. 



8:30am–11:30am 

3210 Recognizing Common Biostatistical Errors: A Case- 

Based Approach 


Target Audience: Trainees, fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty and 

community practitioners. 

Objectives: 

-Understand some biostatistical errors common in the pediatric literature 

-Avoid common errors of misinterpretation made by readers 

-Be able to find similar examples and explain them to colleagues and students 

Leader: Thomas B. Newman, Co-Leader: Kristine A. Madsen 

This workshop uses multiple real examples from the pediatric literature to teach 

participants how to be more discriminating consumers of statistics. Topics to be 

covered include type 3 (dumb or careless) errors, standard deviation vs. standard 

error of the mean, between vs. within-group comparisons, relative vs. absolute 

effect sizes, commonly violated assumptions of statistical tests including 

normality and independent sampling, odds ratios vs. relative risks, negative 

studies and confidence intervals, and interpreting regression coefficients. In the 

last part of the seminar, participants will have the opportunity to test what they 

have learned on a set of unknown examples.

3211 Reviewing Abstracts for National and Regional 

Meetings: Yes You Can! 


Target Audience: Fellows, faculty, educators, researchers and clinicians 

interested in understanding and participating in the peer review process to select 

abstracts for presentations at professional meetings. 

Objectives: 

- Participants will be able to identify the characteristics of abstracts submitted 

to professional meetings that make them most likely to be selected for 

presentation 

- Participants will be able to reliably score abstracts submitted to professional 

meetings and differentiate among those that are excellent, good, acceptable, 

and poor 

Leader: Benard P. Dreyer, Co-Leaders: Elena Fuentes-Afflick, Scott C. Denne, 

Glenn Flores, Susan P. Berger, Susan P. Berger 

A highlight of the annual meetings of professional organizations is the 

presentation of selected, peer-reviewed scientific abstracts. However, most 

reviewers have received little or no formal training in the abstract peer review 

process. This highly interactive workshop will help build the skills of present, 

future, and potential abstract reviewers in pediatrics. In addition, for fellows and 

junior faculty, the knowledge and skills acquired will contribute to producing 

better abstracts for submission. 

The session will include: 1) Introductory demystification discussion of the 

abstract submission, scoring and decision process; 2) Review of scoring criteria; 

3) Hands-on opportunity to practice reviewing and scoring real abstracts with 

live feedback from experienced facilitators and sharing of lessons learned among 

small groups of 4-5. Each participant will read and critique each abstract, and 

come to a consensus score with other members of the small group. Feedback will 

be given about how reviews compare to those of workshop leaders and actual 

PAS reviews. Abstracts will be chosen from those submitted to the PAS and 

will offer of range of abstracts regarding presentation type (plenary, platform, 

poster, publication only), content and design (interventions, epidemiological, 

educational research, qualitative, etc.). 



8:30am–11:30am 

3212 Rounding Like a Ninja: Preparing Faculty and 

Team to Empower Senior Residents During Family 

Centered Rounds 


Target Audience: Residents, fellows, and faculty interested in improving and 

promoting senior resident leadership during Family Centered Rounds. 

Objectives: 

- Identify the components of pre-rounds preparation that promote Senior 

Resident (SR) empowerment 

- Understand the concept of Senior Resident Empowerment Actions (SREAs) 

- Describe SREAs that can be performed by SR or faculty to promote SR 

empowerment 

- Practice the deliberate use of SREAs with varying SR and faculty profiles 

Leader: Michael Weisgerber, Co-Leaders: Vineeta Mittal, Megan Aylor, 

Heather Toth 

This interactive workshop will provide the participant with strategies to promote 

SR leadership during Family Centered Rounds (FCR). The workshop will begin 

with a discussion of the role of pre-rounds preparation in empowering the SR. 

The concept of rounds Senior Resident Empowerment Actions (SREAs) will 

then be introduced and small groups will brainstorm SREAs they have found 

most useful in their own practices. We will share a strategy (Rounding like a 

Ninja and the 4 S’s) as a framework to categorize useful SREAs in a memorable 

way. Participants will practice the use of SREAs in a competitive, fun, interactive 

rounding game (Rounding with the Stars). We will share video clips and discuss 

expert role modeling as another strategy to promote SR empowerment. The 

workshop will conclude with the participants committing to use one or more of 

these SR empowerment strategies at their own institutions. 

8:30am–11:30am 

3214 So Much More than Just the Numbers! Utilizing 

Effective Teaching Methods to Optimize The 

Continuity Clinic Experience 


Target Audience: Faculty who precept in resident continuity clinics, preceptors 

who work with medical students in ambulatory settings, residency program 

directors, pediatrics residents, others interested in improving teaching and 

learning in the continuity clinic setting. 

Objectives: 

- Review supportive evidence for a variety of educational methods used in the 

outpatient setting 

- Learn and practice precepting techniques and explore educational 

opportunities for use of these methods in the continuity clinic 

- Participants will begin to develop a plan in order to implement teaching 

strategies in their home continuity settings 

Leader: Cynthia L. Ferrell, Co-Leaders: Michael J. Steiner, John M. Olsson, 

Lynn C. Garfunkel, Sharon K. Riesen, Diane Kittredge 

Resident knowledge and skill in the care of healthy children and those with 

chronic conditions are optimized when structured learning experiences, direct 

observation, and preceptor feedback are used in the continuity clinic setting. 

Three areas for teaching and learning in the continuity setting will be reviewed: 

didactic education, clinical teaching, and direct observation with feedback. Best 

educational practices will be shared and participants will begin the process 

of implementing innovative teaching methods in their continuity clinic. A 

systematic review of data published on educational methods in the ambulatory 

setting will be presented. Curricular options for the didactic continuity 

conference will be presented. The group will discuss available material and how 

to make decisions about the content and implementation of their curriculum. 

Clinical teaching methodologies that enhance the clinical decision making 

skills of residents will be presented. Lastly, the groups will experiment with 

direct observation methods used in the continuity setting. Participants of this 

workshop will leave with a toolkit of possibilities for implementation at their 

home institution. 

8:30am–11:30am 

3216 Supporting the Professional Growth of Faculty: 

Enhancing Mentoring in Diverse Relationships 


Target Audience: Senior and mid-level faculty actively involved in mentoring, 

or desiring to become involved or junior faculty interested in developing their 

mentoring relationships 

Objectives: 

- Become familiar with the literature on the experiences and mentoring needs 

of diverse faculty with a particular focus on women 

- Identify the psychological issues that present challenges for mentoring in 

diverse relationships 

- Develop strategies for enhancing the success of diverse relationships 

- Develop ways for monitoring those relationships over time 

Leader: Susan L. Rosenthal, Co-Leaders: Bonita Stanton, Robert W. Wilmott 

Mentoring is associated with success of mentees but can be challenging when 

these relationships are diverse. Relationships among diverse individuals, 

however, can enhance creativity and add to our experiences. This workshop will 

review the literature on barriers in diverse relationships (e.g., unconscious bias; 

differing experiences of the workplace; consideration of psychosocial issues, 

and differences in approaches to decision-making). Drawing on the literature 

and participant experiences as mentors/mentees, small groups will use case 

examples to develop strategies for addressing these issues. Strategies developed 

in the small working groups will be discussed in the larger group.

8:30am–11:30am 

3218 The New CME: Implementing Quality Improvement 

to Meet Maintenance of Certification 

Requirements in Primary Care 


Target Audience: fellowship directors, faculty, quality improvement experts, 

and practitioners. 

Objectives: 

-Describe the basic principles of quality improvement in practice settings 

-Review and critique a Maintenance of Certification (MOC) application 

-Design a quality improvement project for American Board of Pediatrics 

(ABP) approval under Maintenance of Certification 

Leader: Paula Duncan, Co-Leaders: Judith Shaw, Jane McGrath, Chuck 

Norlin, RJ Gillespie 

MOC Part IV requirements for pediatricians provides a new opportunity for 

academic pediatricians to support their colleagues in measurably improving 

primary care practice. With increased emphasis on demonstrated practice 

change rather than increased knowledge, it is critical for academic pediatric 

faculty to be adept in quality improvement (QI) skills and approaches and to 

be prepared to present new content knowledge in the QI context. Faculty From 

NM, OR, UT and VT have received ABP approval and offer MOC-approved 

QI projects to pediatricians in their states. The workshop will highlight basic 

requirements and common challenges to obtaining approval for a QI project 

under MOC. After brief presentations of quality improvement principles and 

approved MOC projects, participants will break into small groups and work 

with faculty experts to critique a mock MOC application, including review of 

questions, where to get information, and acceptable data sources. Then using a 

recently approved MOC project proposal that the faculty have agreed to share, 

work to adapt the proposal for use in their own setting. Participants will leave 

with a MOC project adapted to fit their unique practice network. 

8:30am–11:30am 

3220 The Pediatric Trauma Workshop 


Target Audience: Pediatricians, trainees, nurses, paramedics and respiratory 

therapists involved with the care of acutely injured children will be the focus 

of our discussion. 

Objectives: 

- Identify new developments in the field of pediatric trauma 

- Identify appropriate indications for imaging in pediatric trauma 

- Review common pediatric trauma radiology findings 

Leader: Sanjay Mehta, Co-Leaders: Amina Lalani, Angelo Mikrogianakis 

With the evolution of non-operative pediatric trauma management, pediatricians 

are being increasingly called upon to assist in the resuscitation and stabilization of 

acutely injured children. Many pediatricians feel unprepared and lack confidence 

in caring for these patients. This workshop brings pediatricians up-to-date in the 

latest knowledge and techniques for managing pediatric trauma patients. This 

workshop utilizes short didactic presentations and interactive discussions to 

enhance the learners experience and foster meaningful learning. We will start 

with a discussion on primary survey, resuscitation, stabilization and transport. 

This will be followed by case-based discussions regarding head trauma, Cspine 

injuries, thoracoabdominal trauma, orthopedic injuries and ‘what’s hot’ in 

recent pediatric trauma literature. Put on by experts from Sick Kids and Alberta 

Children’s Hospital Emergency Departments, and using ‘The Hospital for Sick 

Children Manual of Pediatric Trauma’ as a reference, this workshop will expand 

your knowledge and confidence in caring for acutely injured children. 

8:30am–11:30am 

3222 The People’s Court: What Will You Do About 

Breaches of Professionalism in Trainees? 


Target Audience: Mid and senior level educators. 

Objectives: 

- Discuss which actions are most appropriate for the cases of unprofessional 

conduct presented 



- Indicate anonymously with an audience response system which academic 

action is most appropriate for each case 

- Utilizing an ethical framework, appraise and defend one’s own decision 

regarding a case of unprofessional conduct in comparison with the majority 

decision 

Leader: Woodson S. Jones, Co-Leaders: Joseph O. Lopreiato, Mary C. 

Ottolini, Dewesh Agrawal 

Significant progress has been made in defining and devising evaluation 

processes for the core competency of professionalism. However, mid and senior 

level educators are often faced with making challenging value-based decisions 

on what actions to take after a trainee has demonstrated unprofessional conduct. 

This workshop will present an ethical framework for analyzing a moral event, 

together with 4 cases of unprofessional conduct by residents. The workshop 

attendees will then vote anonymously using an audience response system 

to determine which academic action is most appropriate for the lapse in 

professionalism presented. Each case will be followed by a facilitated discussion

3265A Hematology: Thrombosis and Anemia in Children 

in the West and East? 


Target Audience: Clinicians and researchers who wish to learn more about the 

diagnosis and treatment of pediatric thrombosis, with special reference to the 

genetic and epidemiologic backgrounds of thrombophilia. 

Objectives: 

- The molecular mechanisms of inherited thrombophilia, and their associated 

factors for thrombotic events 

- The racial difference of thrombophilic traits among the Western and Eastern 

countries 

- How and which coagulant/anti-coagulant factors are involved in the 

inflammatory process 

- Optimal choice of anti-coagulants for pediatric thrombosis of various cause 

Chairs: Ampaiwan Chuansumrit, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand and 

Shouichi Ohga, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan 

Pediatric thrombosis and its risk factors are receiving increased attention, based 

on the recent advances in the genetics of thrombophilia and the management of 

thrombosis. Children who suffer from thrombosis have heterogeneous causes 

and/or triggers of thrombosis. Systematic approach to testing and treatment is 

required for patients. Laboratory tests should be standardized for the screening 

of thrombophilia in both adults and children. The type and prevalence of 

inherited thrombophilia in patients with thrombosis varies substantially 

depending on the population. This session will compare the epidemiology and 

genetic backgrounds of thrombophilia between the West and East, to provide 

useful information about the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric thrombosis.

3270 Promises and Pitfalls of Routine Screening for 

Kidney Disease 


Objective: 

- To consider the overall principles involved in determining whether a 

specific screening tool is useful and effective; the experience in screening 

for hematuria and proteinuria in several different countries; the benefits and 

potential pitfalls of mandatory blood pressure screening of young children; 

and the role of the general pediatrician as the sentinel for detecting early 

signs of disease in children 

Chairs: D. Michael Foulds, Professor Emeritus, University of Texas Health 

Science Center, San Antonio, TX and Takashi Igarashi, The University of 

Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan 

Optimal care of children involves efforts to prevent as well as treat disease, or 

at least to identify potential health problems early, in order to mitigate disease 

manifestations. One way in which to accomplish this is to screen whole 

populations for evidence of disease. Such an approach has been taken to 

anticipate the possible advent of chronic kidney or cardiovascular disease by 

several methods. However, over time, some of these methods have proven not 

to be cost effective, whereas others have been proposed to be useful.

3275 Recent Advances in Neonatal Cholestatic Disorders 


Target Audience: Researchers and clinicians practicing neonatology, general 

pediatrics, gastroenterology, immunology and genetics. 

Objective: 

- Understand the mechanism of liver injury resulting in TPN-cholestasis 

- Review mechanisms of cholestasis and injury in genetic cholestatic disease 

and review new diagnostic tools 

- Discuss new insights into the pathogenesis of Biliary Atresia 

Chairs: Andrew P. Feranchak, University of Texas Southwestern Medical 

Center, Dallas Children’s Hospital, Dallas TX and Judith O’Connor, 

University of Arkansas, Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Little Rock, AR 

Cholestatic liver disease in infants is often progressive leading to liver failure 

and liver transplantation. Understanding the mechanism of TPN cholestasis 

is critical to patient management and disease prevention. New genetic tools 

and biochemical assays have helped to describe and define the cause of 

several cholestatic disorders previously referred to as neonatal hepatitis. 

The Biliary Atresia Reseach Consortium (BARC) is an NIH funded multicenter 

collaborative of which one focus is the determination of the cause and 

genetic susceptibility for this disorder. This course will review the cause and 

mechanisms of injury, resulting from cholestasis, discuss new diagnostic tools 

and review new insights into the pathogenesis of Biliary Atresia.

3280 What is Known About the Effects of Infant Media 

Viewing on Child Development: From Bench to 

Bedroom 


Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians involved with brain development, 

child behavior, language acquisition, attentional problems as well as general 

pediatricians will find this interactive session both dynamic and informative. 

Objectives: 

- To be aware of the latest data regarding the prevalence of TV viewing during 

infancy, the theoretical reasons for concern, and the demonstrated risks and 

benefits of exposure 

Chair: Dimitri A. Christakis, Seattle Children’s Research Institute, University 

of Washington, Seattle, WA 

Although the AAP discourages media usage before the age of two, 90% of 

infants today regularly watch, spending on average 30% of their waking hours 

in front of a screen. While the effects of this exposure are undergoing intense 

study, there remains reason to be concerned. This session will bring together 

a neuroscientist, a developmental pediatrician, a pediatric epidemiologist, 

and a child psychologist to discuss the effects of infant media viewing. The 

session will address theoretical reasons for concern, basic science approaches 

to newborn brain physiology, as well as state of the science data on what infants 

can and cannot learn from TV viewing.

Objectives: 

- To review some recent scientific advances that have underlined the 

importance of the microbiome 

- Review some of the basic interactions of nutrients with the resident 

microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract and their relevance to human health 

- Review the interactions of the intestinal mucosal immune system with the 

intestinal microbiota and how these affect autoimmunity, allergy, obesity and 

other aspects of health and disease 

- Speculate on future areas of research that will relate the microbiome to 

human health 

Chairs: Patti J. Thureen, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, 

Aurora, CO and Brenda L. Poindexter, Indiana University School of Medicine, 


Interest in the microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract is rapidly emerging 

based on newly developed molecular techniques as well as an understanding 

that this “forgotten organ” plays a major role in health and disease. This is 

especially pertinent to those who care for infants and children because the 

relationship between the intestinal microbiota and the development of the 

immune, endocrine and nervous systems are integrally related, and much of this 

occurs in the first years of life. Because of the major role microbes play in health 

and disease, a better understanding of the impact of various early perturbations 

such as the use of antibiotics, and feeding of foods of various compositions may 

have a life-long impact.

3505A Molecular Target Therapy for Pediatric Malignancy: 

Current Status and Future Directions 


Target Audience: General pediatricians, hematologists, oncologists, 

immunologists, basic scientists. 

Objective: 

- To focus on the current status and future directions of molecular target 

therapy, based on the pathogenesis of pediatric malignancies with poor 

outcome which include acute leukemia and solid tumors 

Chairs: Patrick A. Brown, John Hopkins Universsity School of Medicine, 

Baltimore, MD and Eiichi Ishii, Ehime University Graduate School of 

Medicine, Ehime, Japan 

Pediatric malignancies including acute leukemia and solid tumors are rare 

but sometimes show poor outcome despite the intensive therapy. In addition, 

chemotherapy and/or stem cell transplantation induce severe late effects. 

Recently, genetic and molecular defects associated with the pathogenesis of 

pediatric malgnancies have been clarified. To improve the outcome and to 

reduce late effects in these disorders, new molecular target therapy should be 

established. In this session, three key note speakers will provide the data of 

molecular target therapy for infant or childhood leukemia and other pediatric 

malignancies.

3580A Sixteenth Annual Lecture: The March of Dimes 

Prize in Developmental Biology 

Korbel 2A/3A 

Please join us at a lecture by two pioneering scientists whose work has been 

essential to our understanding of sex chromosomes. 

A fellow scientist has written, I consider Patricia Jacobs the mother of 

human cytogenetics and David Page the father of the human Y chromosome. 

In 1959, Prof. Jacobs was the first to describe a chromosomal abnormality in 

humans, the additional X chromosome in Klinefelter syndrome. Dr. Page’s 

study and sequencing of the Y chromosome has advanced our understanding 

of it beyond its male determining role to a complex genetic system with a 

repertoire of many specialized functions. Their extraordinarily successful 

research continues to open up exciting new possibilities for the diagnosis 

and treatment of birth defects, infertility, and many diseases. 

The March of Dimes Prize in Developmental Biology has been awarded 

annually since 1996 to investigators whose research has profoundly advanced 

the science that underlies our understanding of birth defects.

3606 Enhancing Cardiovascular Care in the NICU Using 

Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography 

PAS Workshop~ Hyatt Regency Downtown, Mineral Hall B/C 

Target Audience: Neonatologists, neonatal trainees, advanced care 

nurseprractitioners 

Objectives: 

- Evaluate the benefits vs. risk of point of care 

- Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TnECHO) for guiding cardiovascular 

decision making 

- Demonstatre the techniques of basic echocardiography methods as an 

introduction to TnECHO 

Leader: Patrick J. McNamara, Co-Leaders: Istvan Seri, Shahab Noori, Arvind 

Sehgal, Tina Leone, Michael Weidenbach 

The care of the critically ill neonate with cardiovascular compromise is often 

challenging. Using clinical judgement alone to define the nature of the problem 

may lead to incorrect assumptions or incorrect therapeutic interventions. 

Functional echocardiography (fECHO) is a limited assessment of the ductus 

arteriosus, myocardial performance, or hemodynamics which is brief in nature 

and addresses a specific clinical question or management dilemma. The goal 

of this workshop is to demonstrate to neonatologists how fECHO may enhance 

neonatal cardiovascular care. The workshop will include a didactic section 

utilizing real life clinical scenarios to demonstrate clinical usefulness of fECHO, 

information about setting up a fECHO program locally and a demonstration of 

ultrasound imaging using a model. The hands on section will be limited to 80 

attendees and will provide an opportunity to practice fECHO skills under the 

guidance of an experienced group of neonatal clinicians.

PAS Hot Topic~Korbel 1A/D 

Target Audience: Clinical and academic general pediatricians and pediatric 

subspecialists including gastroenterologists, nephrologists, rheumatologists, 

pulmonologists, endocrinologists, and adolescent medicine specialists. 

Objectives: 

- To understand the molecular effects of inflammatory cytokines on cell 

biology and signaling pathways involved in growth 

- Understand the effects of inflammation on nutrition, especially protein 

metabolism, and body composition 

- Understand the specific effects of chronic inflammation on growing bone 

- Explore novel therapeutic interventions to ameliorate the deleterious effects 

of chronic inflammation 

Chairs: Brandon Nathan, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN and 

Joseph Wolfsdorf, Children’s Hospital Boston, Boston, MA 

This symposium addresses the protean molecular effects and clinical 

manifestations of chronic childhood inflammatory disease on physical growth 

and development, skeletal health, body composition, and well-being. Chronic 

inflammatory disease in children and adolescents is characterized by poor 

appetite and suboptimal nutrition, altered nutrient utilization, impaired growth 

and delayed puberty, reduced muscle and bone mass, fatigue and physical 

inactivity. Circulating proinflammatory cytokines affect bone cell activity, 

and drugs used to treat these disorders, notably glucocorticoids, have negative 

effects on bone formation and on linear growth. Recent studies provide 

insight into disturbances of growth hormone action, protein metabolism, and 

the pathogenesis of decreased bone mass. This symposium will review new 

knowledge concerning these pathophysiologic mechanisms and highlight 

opportunities for therapeutic intervention in selected disorders.

3615 Impact of Surgery, Anesthesia and Analgesia on 

the Newborn Brain 


Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians practicing neonatology, neurology, 

pediatric surgery, anesthesiology or developmental follow-up. 

Objective: 

- To understand the common neuropathologies, the common developmental 

impairments, and the established and controversial risk factors for brain 

injury, following newborn surgery and anesthesia 

Chairs: Shannon Hamrick, Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of 

Atlanta, Atlanta, GA and Terrie E. Inder, Washington University, St. Louis, 

MO 

This symposium will explore recent data on the neurodevelopmental 

consequences of exposure to surgery, as well as anesthesia and analgesia, in 

the neonatal period. Both the complex term infant with congenital anomalies 

(e.g. intestinal, cardiac, diaphragmatic hernia) and the preterm infant with 

surgical complications (e.g. necrotizing enterocolitis or spontaneous intestinal 

perforation) requiring neonatal surgery appear at increased risk for adverse 

neurodevelopmental outcomes. The understanding of the contributions of 

anesthesia, surgery and peri-operative care, such as pain management, in the 

pathogenesis of these adverse outcomes is being increasingly investigated in 

the newborn utilizing MR imaging and other approaches. This symposium will 

review clinically relevant surgical settings in the term and preterm newborn 

groups, and novel data will be presented on the role of anesthetic and analgesic 

agents. Injury susceptibility may be unique to particular developmental 

periods.

3625 Probing Genetic Influences on Childhood Lung 

Disease 


Target Audience: Neonatologists, pulmonologists, clinical geneticists. 

Objectives: 

- To obtain a working knowledge of known and candidate genetic causes 

of RDS in newborns, known and candidate genetic causes of diffuse lung 

diseases in children, 

- To understand the strengths and limitations of current genetic approaches to 

childhood lung disease 

- To understand approaches to dissect gene-environment interactions in 

childhood lung disease 

Chairs: Aaron Hamvas, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis 

Children’s Hospital, St. Louis, MO and Lawrence M. Nogee, Johns Hopkins 

University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 

Respiratory disease in childhood results from the interacting expression 

of genetic, environmental, and developmental factors. The technology for 

probing the genome has outpaced the ability to probe the contributions of the 

environmental and developmental factors. In this session, we will discuss the 

complexities of understanding these interactions utilizing currently identified 

rare lung diseases with a known genetic basis as models, and discuss the 

challenges associated with dissecting the influences on diffuse lung diseases of 

childhood without an identifiable cause.

3630A Recent Progress in Pediatric Oncology-New 

Insights into Molecular Genetics, Biology and 

Epidemiology 


Target Audience: General pediatricians and hematologist, oncologist, 

immunologist and epidemiologist. 

Objectives: 

- To understand the recent progress in genetic basis for childhood 

malignancies 

- To understand the recent progress in the study of epidemiology of childhood 

malignancies for identification of possible genetic and environmental risk 

factors 

- To understand the recent progress in molecular mechanisms and biology for 

childhood malignancies 

Chairs: Richard A. Gatti, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA and 

Shuki Mizutani, Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan 

Recent progress in the molecular biology has prompted us to study on childhood 

malignancies more rigorously than ever. It is becoming essential to understand 

the field of DNA damage response in order to get a deeper insight into the 

pathogenesis and treatment of childhood malignancies. Modern techniques 

including genome wide analysis such as microarray technique has enabled 

us to know genetic changes in childhood malignancies far more precisely 

and extensively than ever. Epidemiology on childhood malignancies on how 

molecular changes occur in children is also becoming a hot and important area 

when one considers how to protect children from developing malignancies. 

In this session two keynote lectures by Prof R. Gatti and Prof P. Buffler will 

address on the recent progress in the study on genetic basis and epidemiology 

of childhood malignancies. In Asia it will be the right time to consider to join 

the international collaboration in these rapidly growing areas. Several other 

interesting topics submitted from the Asian countries will be picked up as oral 

presentations.

Leader: Edward E. Lawson, Co-Leader: Jane E. McGowan 

Starting with organizing ideas into a coherent manuscript with appeal for editors 

and reviewers, the workshop leaders will review writing style and processes 

common to scientific reporting. Roundtable and whole group dissection of 

writing samples from manuscripts submitted for publication will be the main 

format in each section of the workshop. These sections demonstrate major 

principles in writing sentences, paragraphs and overall scientific manuscript 

organization. Development of figures and tables will also be illustrated. An 

overview of the review and editor decision process completes the workshop.

3710 The NIH: How it Works 


Target Audience: Students, residents, fellows, junior faculty. 

Objectives: 

- How the NIH system of applications and peer-review works 

- Discuss recent changes in the NIH peer-review system 

- Learn how to enhance success in the system 

- Various mechanisms available for research and training 

Leader: Duane F. Alexander, Co-Leader: Linda Wright 

Participants in this workshop will receive information on how the NIH receives, 

assigns, reviews, and funds applications for support for various types of 

research, training and career development. The variety of support mechanisms 

available at different career stages will be described along with areas of special 

current research interest to the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of 

Child Health and Human Development. 



3:30pm–5:30pm 

3712 Treatable Metabolic Epileptic Encephalopathies 


Target Audience: Fellow and faculty who care for newborns with encephalopathy 

and seizures. 

Objectives: 

- Recognize the importance of biochemical and genetic testing in evaluating 

infants with encephalopathy and seizures 

- Recognize the therapeutic roles of certain vitamin cofactors and metabolic 

therapies in neonatal epilepsy 

- Identify five epileptic encephalopathies that have a catastrophic outcome 

unless targeted therapy is introduced 

Leader: Sidney M. Gospe, Co-Leader: Phillip L. Pearl 

This workshop will review the inherited epilepsies that are fundamentally 

treatable, yet catastrophic if unrecognized and untreated. Specific conditions 

to be covered include vitamin-responsive epilepsies (pyridoxine-dependent 

epilepsy, pyridoxal phosphate-responsive epileptic encephalopathy, folinic acidresponsive 

seizures), glucose transporter deficiency (which is responsive to the 

ketogenic diet) and the newly described disorder DEND (developmental delay, 

epilepsy and neonatal diabetes) which can be reversed with oral hypoglycemics, 

but if treated with insulin has a poor neurological outcome. The workshop 

leaders will present introductory lectures which will provide an overview of a 

wide range of treatable metabolic epilepsies that present in early life, followed 

by a more comprehensive discussion of the underlying biochemistry, genetics 

and management of the key disorders listed above. Following these lectures, 

a series of cases will be presented for group discussion so that evaluation and 

management strategies may be shared. Participants will be encouraged to bring 

their own cases for discussion with other workshop attendees. 

3:45pm–5:45pm 

3715 Renovascular Hypertension: Diagnostic and 

Therapeutic Considerations 


Target Audience: Clinicians who care for children and adolescents with 

hypertension and who wish to learn more about the current clinical approaches 

to diagnosing and managing patients with renovascular hypertension. 

Objectives: 

-To understand that hypertension related to renovascular disease is a spectrum 

of conditions, with a variety of presentations and processes that may lead to a 

similar common pathway leading to hypertension as the clinical presentation 

-To gain insights into the role of the interventional radiologist in the initial 

diagnostic evaluation as well as the management of this condition 

Chairs: Kevin E. C. Meyers, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, 

PA and Kjell Tullus, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, 

United Kingdom 

Renovascular disease consitutes an important cause of hypertension in the 

young. The diagnosis is often suspected but can be difficult to make not 

only due to differing clinical presentations, but also confusion over the best 

diagnostic approach to the problem. Management options may vary, depending 

on the age of the patient, underlying diagnosis and availability of skilled 

personnel. The presentations in this session will address the pathophysiologic 

spectrum of renovascular disease from a clinical and molecular perspective. 

A variety of genetic syndromes have components of renovascular lesions that 

will be discussed. Management of this condition from the perspective of an 

interventional radiologist will be discussed as well.

3895 4th Annual Debate on Controversies in Pediatric

Room 205 

Should Pediatricians Advise Parents to Slather their Kids with Sunscreen? 

A debate featuring: 

Russ Chesney, M.D.Professor and Chairman of Pediatrics, University of 

Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis 

And 

Sophie J. Balk, M.D. Attending Pediatrician, Children’s Hospital at 

Montefiore, Professor of Clinical PediatricsAlbert Einstein College of

Columbia Children’s Hospital, Professor of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser 

University British Columbia, Canada 

Sunscreen is the most common method of sun protection in the United States. 

Physicians often counsel parents or patients about ways to reduce exposure 

to ultraviolet radiation. There is, however, considerable controversy and 

uncertainty about whether pediatricians should advise parents to slather their 

children with sunscreen. Sunscreen use may increase the prevalence of vitamin 

D insufficiency or deficiency. Moreover, while sunscreen use has increased over 

the past decade, the prevalence of sunburns has not changed. Other areas of 

concern include systemic dermal absorption of sunscreen, presence of some 

sunscreen ingredients in breast milk and the possibility that some chemical 

sunscreens may be endocrine disruptors. Two experts will discuss the existing 

evidence, benefits and potential hazards of using sunscreen to protect children 

from sun-induced skin cancer.

4105 Beyond Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: Measuring 

Long-term Respiratory Outcomes in Former 

Premature Infants 


Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians interested in understanding factors 

influencing childhood respiratory outcomes of former premature infants. Appeal 

will be to clinicians caring for these infants and to researchers measuring their 

outcomes in order to identify pathways of pathogenesis and potentially to 

identify methods to personalize intervention. 

Objectives: 

- To understand long-term pulmonary outcomes of former premature infants 

- To identify the risk factors beyond traditional measures such as the diagnosis 

of bronchopulmonary dysplasia that affect risk of pulmonary morbidity, 

including susceptibility to acute respiratory illnesses and chronic impairment 

of pulmonary function 

Chairs: Carl T. D’Angio, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY and Lisa R. 

Young, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH 

The goal of this session is to discuss the measurement of pulmonary outcomes 

in former premature infants, with specific reference to respiratory risk factors 

other than bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The session will begin with an 

analysis of factors, such as gestational age and cumulative oxygen exposure 

during the early postnatal period, that influence later outcomes. The second talk 

will review experience with assessing respiratory risk and outcome in healthy 

newborns and lessons for the study 



of premature infants’ risks. The third talk will focus on what is known about 

respiratory outcomes in childhood among former premature infants. The final 

talk will discuss current and upcoming research on biomarkers and other risk 

assessments to improve the predictive accuracy of respiratory evaluation at the 

time of NICU discharge. The session will provide participants with a framework 

within which to assess long-term respiratory risk in premature infants.

4110 Getting It Right: Current Concepts in the Use and 

Misuse of Sociodemographic Variables in Child 

Health Research 


Target Audience: General academic pediatricians, pediatric faculty, residents, 

and medical students interested in population health, social determinants of 

disease, and public policy efforts addressing child health disparities. 

Objective: 

- Pediatric researchers will discern the risks and benefits of the complex 

variables of race/ethnicity, SES and immigration/acculturation in health 

research and leave with a plan on how to select and utilize salient variables in 

their own work 

Chairs: Lisa J. Chamberlain, Stanford University School of Medicine, 

Stanford, CA and Doug Jutte, University of California, Berkeley, CA 

Last year, our plenary session on social determinants of health ended with 

a neonatologist asking this question: ‘Why do upper-middle class African 

American women who deliver at my hospital have preemies with bad 

outcomes?’ We recognized in this question a significant opportunity to 

explore the complex interplay of race, socioeconomic status and demographic 

markers critical for the understanding of disease causation, intervention and 

prevention. Just as importantly, the incautious use of these variables can result 

is inaccurate conclusions, for example, use of race/ethnicity as a proxy for 

socioeconomic status risks assigning blame to genetics without accounting 

for coexisting social disparities. This session will provide a venue for leading 

health disparity researchers to discuss current knowledge on the measurement, 

utilization and interaction of three important demographic variables: race/ 

ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and acculturation/immigration. The panelists 

will then conclude with recommendations for the accurate application of these 

challenging variables in child health research.

4112 Comparative Effectiveness Research and Child 

Health Policy: Where are We Now, and Where 

Should We Go from Here? 


Target Audience: This session will appeal to health services researchers, 

academic general pediatricians, health administrators, students and individuals 

interested in health policy as well as care delivery models, clinical organization 

and improvement. 

Objectives: 

- To gain new knowledge of current Comparative Effectiveness Research 

(CER) priorities for children 

- To appreciate methodological challenges with CER for the pediatric 

population 

- To determine how to successfully translating CER into clinical decisionmaking 

and evidence-informed policy 

Chair: Lisa Simpson, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, 


Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) is an area of interest to scientists, 

clinicians and decision-makers and is seen as a method for accelerating 

improvements in clinical care, administration, and population health. Recent 

funding represents a major opportunity to improve child health and health 

delivery. This session will offer an overview of Comparative Effectiveness 

Research (CER), and will detail current priority areas. Cutting-edge child health 

CER will be profiled, including research related to children with special heath 

care needs (CSHCN) and other priority areas. US and Canadian models will 

be discussed, highlighting differences in available data and support. Innovative 

thinking around methodological issues specific to CER for children will be 

shared, highlighting the use of pragmatic trials and observational research. This 

session will detail how CER is enabling decision-makers to craft evidenceinformed 

policy, and will offer strategies for making research questions germane, 

and effectively communicating research findings for maximal impact.

4115 Integrating Specialty, Primary, and Inpatient Care: 

Enhancing Value and Quality for High Resource 

Utilizers 


Target Audience: Health care and hospital administrators, health service 

researchers, and all clinicians who care for children who are high medical care 

resource users. 

Objective: 

- To understand how integrated care models can address the challenge of 

fragmented and inefficient care that children who are high resource utilizers 

frequently receive 

Chairs: Dennis Z. Kuo, Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Little Rock, AR and 

Christopher Stille, University of Colorado, The Children’s Hospital, Aurora, 

CO 

Children who utilize the most health care resources often have chronic conditions 

and functional limitations, requiring involvement of the Medical Home provider, 

multiple subspecialists, hospitalists, therapists, and other providers. Their care 

is frequently fragmented and uncoordinated, contributing to poor outcomes at 

high costs. Integrating care delivery is essential to an efficient, high-performing 

health care system that improves health outcomes within an environment of 

increasingly scarce resources. Our first speaker will present the latest health 

services research on the characteristics of children who utilize large quantities 

of health care resources. The second will discuss integrated care as an emerging 

care paradigm for high resource utilizers. The third speaker will present an 

example of integrated care for a population of high resource utilizers, with 

outcomes data. Finally, the last speaker will discuss ongoing efforts to create 

pediatric accountable care systems as promoted by health care reform.

4120A Recent Advances in Clinical Virology in Asia 


Target Audience: General pediatricians and infectious disease specialists. 

Objectives: 

- To understand the clinical the characteristics of pandemic influenza H1N1 

2009, especially initial symptoms 

- To understand the epidemiology of rotavirus infection in Asia 

- To understand the present status of mother-to-child transmission of human 

herpesviruses and retroviruses in Asia 

Chairs: Dong Soo Kim, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Severance 

Children’s Hospital, Seoul, Korea and Koichi Kasuhara, University of 

Occupational and Environmental Health School of Medicine, Kitakyushu, Japan 

In recent years emergence of new viruses (e.g., pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 

2009 and SARS coronavirus), accumulated information on epidemiology of 

viral diseases and development of new approaches to viral infections have 

brought significant advances in clinical virology in Asian countries. In this

symposium, we will focus on new findings on emerging viral infections, 

surveillance data of viral diseases and mother-to-child transmission of viruses. 

Dr. Kim will present the clinical characteristics of pandemic influenza H1N1 

2009 in Korea, especially its initial symptoms. Dr. Chen will report data on 

rotavirus surveillance in China and Taiwan, which are expected to change by the 

introduction of new rotavirus vaccines. Dr. Moriuchi will explain the present 

status of mother-to-child transmission of human herpesviruses and retroviruses 

in Asia, including their new approach to diagnosis. Other topics on clinical 

virology will also be presented.

4212 Bone Health and Adolescence - Clinical Dilemmas 

for the Pediatrician 


Target Audience: Students, residents, fellows and faculty interested in bone 

health in adolescents. 

Objectives: 

- Identify the different methods of assessing bone health in adolescents and 

understand their limitations 

- Know the definition of low bone mineral density for age as defined by the 

International Society for Clinical Densitometry 

- List three causes of low bone mass in adolescents 

Leader: Neville H. Golden, Co-Leader: Catherine M. Gordon 

Bone health is an exciting new field within pediatrics and one that is of interest 

to pediatric providers caring for adolescents. Traditionally, much of the work 

on osteoporosis prevention has been conducted in adults. We now know that 

osteoporosis prevention begins in childhood and adolescence, and bone mass 

attained in early in life is perhaps the most important determinant of lifelong 

skeletal health. A number of controversial issues arise when considering bone 

health in the pediatric and adolescent age group. Examples include how to 

interpret bone densitometry results in these young patients and whether a low 

bone mineral density result translates into an increased fracture risk; the role 

of calcium supplementation, vitamin D administration and specific exercise 

protocols to increase bone mass; and the use of hormone replacement therapy 

and bisphosphonates in the pediatric age group. New methods of assessing bone 

health, beyond measuring bone mineral density, are rapidly emerging. 

This workshop will use small groups and case-based learning to discuss 

bone acquisition during adolescence, methods of assessing bone health, and 

implications of recent recommendations by the International Society for Clinical 

Densitometry on preferred terminology and diagnosis of osteoporosis in 

children and adolescents. We will identify conditions associated with low bone 

mass in adolescents and discuss evidence-based treatment of low bone mass 

in the adolescent age group, including controversial topics such as hormone 

replacement therapy and bisphosphonates. Active audience participation is 

encouraged and we anticipate a lively discussion. 

8:30am–11:30am 

4214 Book-Handling Skills: How Residents Can 

Use Books in Continuity Clinic to Enhance 

Developmental Assessment and Improve 

Anticipatory Guidance 


Target Audience: Faculty mentors interested in teaching residents about primary 

care best practices and development. 

Objectives: 

-Participants will demonstrate exam room techniques through discussion of 

filmed vignettes and role-plays 

-Participants will be able to develop teaching modules for residents to enhance 

their exam room developmental assessment skills using books 

-Participants will formulate age-appropriate developmental guidance strategies 

for primary care clinic using books 

Leader: Perri Klass, Co-Leader: Marilyn Augustyn 

Literacy promotion programs are common in continuity clinics--how can a 

resident who takes a book into an exam room use the book to best advantage? 

This workshop will address teaching residents how to use books to enhance 

the assessment of gross and fine motor skills, cognition and communication, 

and most important, to observe the parent child relationship. The workshop 

will include viewing a series of brief filmed vignettes showing primary care 

providers using books in the exam room with patients ranging in age from 

6 months to 5 years. All attendees will receive a copy of the filmed clips 

embedded in a basic powerpoint for teaching residents about using books in 

the exam room and book-related developmental skills keyed to Bright Futures 

goals; faculty will come away with the skills and understanding to use these 

materials to develop teaching modules which enhance residents’ developmental 

skills and understanding, as well as clinic-based literacy promotion. 

8:30am–11:30am 

4216 Cognitive Interviews in Survey Development in 

Medical Education Research: Improving Validity 

and Reliability 


Target Audience: Residents/fellows/faculty/other healthcare professionals 

interested in survey development and medical education research. 

Objectives: 

- Describe the most common cognitive interviewing techniques (think-alouds, 

probing, and observation) and provide an example of how to use each 

technique in medical education research settings 

- Identify five principles of memory retrieval and demonstrate an 

understanding of the theory underpinning the enhanced cognitive interview 

- Debate the advantages and disadvantages of different aspects of cognitive 

interviewing for different research and teaching settings including describing 

the most common cognitive interview mistakes and identifying potential 

response errors related 

- Assess question quality by exploring the types of validity associated with 

surveys an discussing ways to assess different types of validity 

Leader: Kadriye O. Lewis, Co-Leaders: Joan E. Morgan, Anne Chambers, 

Daniel Schumacher, Heidi Saliba 

Cognitive interviewing is an approach for evaluating sources of response error 

in survey questionnaires during the questionnaire design process. The overall 

goal is to maximize content validity, a critical step in instrument development. 

Using cognitive interview procedures such as thinking aloud, verbal probing, 

and concurrent and retrospective probing uncovers valuable information 

about how research participants interpret questions. This workshop will cover 

how to use cognitive interviewing techniques to develop rigorous research 

instruments. Participants will learn the five principles of memory retrieval as 

well as contextual information relevant to the most common cognitive interview 

mistakes (such as potential response errors related to question design). 

Participants will critically analyze and discuss the implementation of cognitive 

interview techniques within their own settings. The discussion will include the 

advantages and disadvantages of cognitive interviewing. Presenters will also 

share their cognitive interview experiences working with projects such as the 

ACGME Pediatrics Milestone Project and the health literacy needs assessment 

survey. 



8:30am–11:30am 

4218 Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), 

Milestones and Competencies, Oh My! Putting it 

all Together for Meaningful Assessment of Learners 


Target Audience: Educators along the continuum of Medical Education who are 

interested in meaningful assessment and education of learners. 

Objectives: 

- Describe the unique characteristics of EPAs and how they facilitate straightforward 

assessment of learners’ capabilities 

- Describe Entrustment and develop an understanding of how to define that 

concept using EPs 

- Describe how to map an EPA to the ACGME general and sub-competencies 

- Develop an understanding, via concrete examples, of the utility of 

Milestones and how they relate to EPAs

Leader: Ann E. Burke, Co-Leaders: Carol Carraccio, Doug Jones, Patricia J. 

Hicks, Robert Englander 

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education partnered with the 

American Board of Pediatrics to spearhead the Milestones Project as the next 

step in advancing competency based assessment and accreditation. A Working 

Group accepted this challenge and created a series of Milestones that addressed 

the developmental progression of the 52 pediatrics sub-competencies over time. 

One of the lessons learned was that the sub-competencies are intricately linked in 

many cases. To bring the Milestones document to life, therefore, we recognized 

the importance of assessing the learner on the integration of the competencies. 

OlleteCate provides us with an excellent platform to do just that, the concept of 

“entrustable professional activities” (EPAs). During this workshop we will first 

define EPAs and Milestones with examples. The participants will then attempt 

to map critical sub-competencies to EPAs. Finally participants will use the 

Milestones of those critical sub-competencies to define which Milestone in a 

given series would be required for a preceptor to award entrustment to a trainee. 

We hope that participants will emerge from the workshop with a new lens for 

viewing the competencies as key elements of our professional activities and the 

Milestones as defining the behaviors required for entrustment of those activities. 

Our intent is to begin a dialog with the education community that will help us 

to further refine and focus on those EPAs that are critical to our profession and 

those Milestones that are critical to reaching performance without supervision. 

8:30am–11:30am 

4220 Filling a Gap: Creating a Departmental Faculty 

Development Program for Clinician-Educators 


Target Audience: Faculty with a desire to develop a program for educators and 

leaders in their department. 

Objectives: 

- Participants will list and prioritize critical elements of a faculty development 

program for enhancing educational and leadership skills 

- Participants will practice skills needed to negotiate for resources to create a 

clinician-educator development program 

- Participants will create a template for a clinician-educator development 

program at their own institution 

Leader: Wendy L. Hobson-Rohrer, Co-Leaders: James F. Bale, John C. Carey 

Pediatric departments must ensure that their faculty members are well prepared 

to teach and to lead others. Strategies by which individual departments can 

create rigorous faculty development programs for clinician-educators are 

needed. At the University of Utah Department of Pediatrics, an Academy of 

Pediatric Education and Leadership (APEL) was created to fill this need for 

our faculty. Utilizing local and national expertise, including the Initiative for 

Innovation in Pediatric Education (IIPE), we developed the APEL curriculum 

to provide weekly seminars to teach education and leadership skills for faculty 

scholars. 

In this workshop, the Directors of APEL will briefly share our lessons 

learned and work in small groups with participants to create templates for 

faculty development programs individualized to the educational needs of the 

participant’s home departments. Participants will identify their specific needs, 

write programmatic goals and create methods for implementing their programs. 

They will also identify the unique resources required for such programs, 

practice the negotiation skills necessary to obtain these resources, and leave the 

workshop with specific action steps for implementation. 

8:30am–11:30am 

4222 Fine Tuning Family Centered Rounds Using A 

Training Toolbox: A Faculty Development Program 

Through Peer Observation and Feedback 


Target Audience: Junior and senior faculty, fellows, residents, students. 



Objectives: 

- Improve knowledge and understanding about developing a peer observation 

program 

- Describe strategies to balance patient care, work, and teaching on rounds 

- Implement successful peer observation program in their institutions 

Leader: Vineeta Mittal, Co-Leaders: Mary Ottolini, Ted Sigrest, Laura 

Sisterhen 

Efficient FCRs requires a methodical approach. Training faculty in teamwork, 

leadership, and bedside teaching are essential for FCR to work effectively. 

This workshop describes how to use a toolbox of practical materials developed 

by the authors and other members of the Family Centered Care SIG to train 

and maintain a consistent team-based approach using a peer observation and 

feedback model. The key issues involve efficient learner orientation, goals and 

objectives on rounds, balancing teaching and patient care, and work on FCRs 

and providing learner feedback. The workshop will begin with an interactive 

group discussion on key principles of peer observation feedback program 

including comfort, trust and respect, and professionalism. Next, the participants 

will work in small groups to focus on skills needed to succeed at the bedside. 

Subsequently, small groups will present cases on simulated FCRs and receive 

feedback based on a Peer-Observation worksheet. The workshop will conclude 

by attendees developing action plans to incorporate the peer observation model 

into their practice upon return to their home institution 

8:30am–11:30am 

4224 Getting Beyond NRP: Using High Fidelity 

Simulation for Advanced Neonatal Training 


Target Audience: Subspecialty trainees in neonatology, program directors and 

those involved in complex neonatal resuscitations. 

Objectives: 

- Demonstrate the use of high fidelity simulation in advanced complex 

neonatal resuscitation scenarios 

- Develop learning modules to use with advanced subspecialty fellows using 

high fidelity simulation 

- Learn to use video feedback as an effective method of teaching technical and 

communication skills to those in training 

- Learn to use checklists as an effective method of teaching technical and 

communication skills to those in training 

Leader: Renate D. Savich, Co-Leader: Joseph Livingston 

High fidelity simulation is now a well established method of teaching NRP 

and megacodes. However, there is little information or experience using this 

educational mode and technology for advanced neonatal training of fellows 

and other learners. This workshop will use high fidelity neonatal simulation 

to develop a curriculum for training neonatal fellows and others in complex 

cases such as delivery of a baby with hydrops fetalis, electrocardioversion of 

SVT induced shock, cardiac tamponade due to central line catheter infiltration 

and other complicated scenarios. Strong emphasis will be placed on teaching 

communication skills during these scenarios. These scenarios with workshop 

participants directly participating in the resuscitation will also be video recorded 

and technical and communication skills will be reviewed by the team. These 

cases will teach how critical low frequency but highly complex situations can 

be taught to fellows and others in training, and how program directors and other 

teachers can develop teaching modules in this area. 

8:30am–11:30am 

4226 I Can Do That! Preparing Residents to Perform

Performing minor procedures is an important part of pediatric residency and 

office practice. Because of limited exposure, residents and practitioners may 

avoid a procedure or call a consultant when uncomfortable with a technique. 

The goal of this workshop is to convey specific techniques and instruction 

methods for minor office procedures. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate 

skills and afford practice as participants rotate through the following stations: 

1) Newer concepts in wound repair - use of glue, fast absorbing sutures, staples; 

2) Remove foreign bodies from ears, nose, eyes; reimplant an avulsed tooth; 

3) Troubleshoot gastrostomy tube and tracheostomy tube complications; 4) 

Skin extrications: embedded fishhook, subungual hematomas, hair tourniquet: 

5) Vascular access: techniques of intraosseous access; 6) Genital issues: 

paraphimosis, zipper entrapment, rectal prolapse. Workshop leaders will 

underscore the importance of learning technical skills in pediatrics. Participants 

will become adept at several procedures and be able to teach them to others. 

Participants will also be asked to share their ideas and experiences in teaching 

and practicing common technical procedures. 

8:30am–11:30am 

4228 Integrating Video Technology in Simulation 

Education 


Target Audience: Faculty with at least some experience with simulation-based 

education. 

Objectives:

exercises 

- Propose innovative new ways to utilize video technology to further the 

educational potential of simulation 

Leader: Garth D. Meckler, Co-Leaders: JoDee Anderson, David Spiro, Lalena 

Yarris, Todd Ellinyson 

Video technology has broad potential to enhance the simulation experience for 

participants and instructors. Applications include the use of video pre-briefing 

to facilitate suspension of disbelief and demonstrate learning objectives; video 

broadcast of simulation exercises to increase learning capacity and minimize 

overcrowding; video debriefing to facilitate learning through coded analysis of 

participant performance as well as expert modeling; and video documentation 

of simulation exercises as a form of program evaluation and feedback. We will 

describe these various techniques, their application, and review the technical, 

hardware and software needs and strategies including both low-tech and 

commercial software applications. 

8:30am–11:30am 

4230 Rising to the Occasion: Strategies For 

Communicating With Vaccine Hesitant Parents 


Target Audience: Community-based providers and primary care faculty, 

residents, and students interested in improving their communication skills with 

parents who have concerns about childhood immunizations. 

Objectives: 

-Understand the immunization behaviors, beliefs and attitudes of vaccinehesitant 

parents 

-Learn communication strategies that address the concerns of vaccine-hesitant 

parents 

-Explore the appropriateness of dismissing parents from one’s practice on the 

basis of their immunization beliefs 

Leader: Douglas J. Opel, Co-Leaders: Douglas S. Diekema, Edgar K. Marcuse 

As vaccine-preventable diseases become less common, consumerism increases, 

and mass media influences public perception of vaccine safety, parental 

acceptance of vaccines has eroded. Vaccine-hesitant parents (VHPs) can be 

defined as parents who may refuse one or two vaccines but agree to others, 

delay vaccines, or accept vaccines but are very uneasy in doing so. Providers are 

in a position to influence the immunization behaviors of VHPs because these 

parents still seek an open, trusting relationship with their child’s provider, are 

willing to receive vaccine information, and consider their child’s provider to 

be an important source of information for making decisions about their child’s 

health. In this interactive workshop, we will explore the origins of immunization 

hesitancy, the beliefs and attitudes of VHPs, and communication strategies that 

address VHPs’ concerns. 

8:30am–11:30am 

4232 Seven Steps for Seeking Research Support: Academic 

Pediatricians at all Career Stages and Specialties: 

Getting your Research Proposal about Complex 

Childhood Conditions Ready for Peer Review 


Target Audience: Junior, mid-career and senior pediatric faculty. 

Objectives: 

- A feeling of mastery for mid/senior career investigators, junior faculty and 

fellows about approaching NIH funding 

- Develop appreciation for the kind of evaluation and revision effort needed 

across the career span to prepare for competitive peer review 

- Attain experience with the new NIH scoring system, funding mechanisms 

and guidelines 

Leader: Carol E. Nicholson, Co-Leader: Jerry J. Zimmerman 

The research agenda and landscape for the investigation of scientific issues 

around complex pediatric conditions, illnesses and injuries has changed 

dramatically in the last decade. New priorities in funding opportunities for 

research include those in bioinformatics, genomics, and implementation science. 

This workshop seeks to arm pediatricians with some proven techniques that will 

enable submissions to be competitive in the present peer review arena. 

The workshop will use the new NIH scoring system, and includes a mock study 

section following a brief didactic presentation of the updated SEVEN STEPS 

methodology. Academic and research pediatricians from all specialties and 

subspecialties, and ALL career stages are welcome and encouraged. Mid/Senior 

level investigators, who may find the new competitive peer review landscape 

and national funding priorities uncomfortable will be presenting their proposals. 

Junior faculty will act as peer reviewers, attaining study section experience and 

exposure to the newer NIH scoring system. 

The workshop is designed to be interactive for all attendees, and to facilitate 

interaction among peers across the career cycle, and to provide a “jumping off ” 

place for contacts at the National Institutes of Health ( NIH). 

8:30am–11:30am 

4234 Since When Did You Not Have an Opinion? Bringing 

Clinical and Research Insights to Policy and Policy 

Makers 


Target Audience: Students, residents, fellows, faculty, clinicians. 

Objectives: 

- Identify at least three ways in which clinicians and researchers can impact 

policy making, including legislation, budgetary formulation, administrative 

rule-making and other regulations 

- Practice skills related to giving testimony, commenting on regulations and 

meeting with policy makers 

- Formulate a plan to integrate these skills into work at their home institution 

Leader: Megan Sandel, Co-Leaders: Esther K. Chung, David M. Keller, 

Michelle Terry

Pediatricians witness inequalities in health care, housing, education and social 

services that undermine the well-being and quality of life for many children and 

their families. With community partners and effective messages, physicians have 

been able to impact health policy and public opinion. This interactive workshop 

will provide participants with essential tools for influencing policy and policy 

makers. The workshop will lead by former Soros/Physician Advocacy Fellows, 

who will describe opportunities that every physician can take advantage of for 

advocacy, whether it be testifying, commenting on proposed rules or regulations 

or meeting with policy makers. Workshop leaders will then facilitate interactive 

break-out sessions where participants will assemble into small groups to develop 

outlines for commenting on rules, they will critique good and bad testimony 

and role-play with one another techniques on meeting with policy makers. 



8:30am–11:30am 

4236 Working Smarter, Not Harder! An Interactive 

Workshop on the Scholarship of Teaching and 

Learning in Medical Education 


Target Audience: Fellows, junior and mid level faculty interested in educational 

activities and scholarship, senior faculty interested in mentoring junior 

educators. 

Objectives: 

-Identify a topic to explore through SOTL in your current work as a medical 

educator 

-Develop a plan for collecting and analyzing data to address/answer your 

purpose/question

and learning 

-Apply the lessons learned to future professional development through the 

development of individual action plans 

Leader: Kimberly Acquaviva, Co-Leaders: Margaret M. Plack, Larrie 

Greenberg 

Teaching is an integral part of the work we do in everyday in medicine, whether 

it is with patients, medical students, residents or fellows, or providing continuing 

education to other professionals. Wouldn’t it be nice to take what we all do every 

day, and make it count twice? There are some concrete steps you can take to help 

you turn your teaching into scholarship for professional development and career 

advancement. In this workshop, you will work collaboratively to identify ways 

in which you can incorporate the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) 

into your own practice. Through a series of facilitated exercises, rapid-cycle 

brainstorming, and peer feedback sessions, you will develop a practical, lowcost 

scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) project (including a SOTL 

question, identification of sources of evidence, and a plan for data collection 

and analysis) that you will be able to implement when you return to your home 

institution after the conference.

4415 Medication Adherence: From Bench to Bedside 

PAS Topic Symposium~Korbel 1C/D 

Target Audience: Those involved with providing clinical care or evaluating 

patient responsiveness to prescribed therapy. 

Objectives: 

- Understand the causes, types and implications of non-adherence 

- Learn how to incorporate adherence assessment(s) into the routine clinical 

care of patients 

Chairs: Arlene Butz, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD and Sande O. 

Okelo, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, OH and 

Once a clinician has determined the cause(s) of a patient’s problem(s), he/she 

provides the patient with recommendations on the best way(s) to successfully 

remedy the problem. It is critical for the clinician to know to what extent the 

patient has actually followed the prescribed recommendations. Although patient 

adherence to prescribed regimens has been extensively researched, few clinicians: 

a) appreciate the impact of non-adherence on their patient’s outcomes; b) routinely 

assess non-adherence; c) can classify causes and types of non-adherence; d) 

have a methodology of clinically measuring adherence. The significance of this 

proposed scientific session is to address each of the above-mentioned gaps that 

currently exist between the idealized world of research and the real-world of 

clinical practice. This session will offer increased knowledge and understanding

of the causes, types and implications of non-adherence; and equip the practitioner 

with practical skills to incorporate into the care of their patients.

4425 Transitions and Handovers: Challenges and 

Strategies for Safe Patient Care 

PAS Topic Symposium~Korbel 2B/3B 

Target Audience: Program directors, medical educators, hospitalists, emergency 

physicians, primary care providers, and anyone involved in the care of patients 

transitioning from the Emergency room to intensive care unit or hospital floor 

and back to the outpatient setting. 



Objectives: 

- Understand the different types of transitions of care that occur in current 

medical practice 

- Identify barriers to effective transition of care and approaches to reduce the 

threats to high-quality handovers and patient safety 

- Explore strategies to implement curricula on transitions of care and to 

measure the effectiveness of educational interventions 

Chairs: Lynn C. Garfunkel, University of Rochester and Rochester General 

Hospital, Rochester, NY and Hilary M. Haftel, University of Michigan C.S. 

Mott Children’s Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI 

Transitions in patient care are a continuous process in current health care 

practice. These transitions include those between individual physicians and 

between care teams, as well as those between inpatient and outpatient settings. 

Transitions in care have been recently highlighted as a threat to patient safety by 

the Joint Commission and the Institute of Medicine. By limiting the number of 

continuous hours worked by trainees, the most recent set of standards proposed 

by the ACGME will lead to an increase in the frequency of patient handovers, 

thereby increasing the risk to patient safety. The new standards also mandate 

that residency programs provide specific curricula in effective teamwork, 

communication, and handovers. This session will explore the different types 

of transitions in care, methods of measurement for effective transitions and 

methods that can be used to teach best practices to learners at all levels.

4705 Making Sense of the Child Health Implications of 

the Gulf Oil Spill 

PAS Hot Topic~Korbel 2A/3A 

Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians seeking insight into what we know 

about short term and potential long term health impacts of a major environmental 

disaster. Pediatric professionals interested in exploring opportunities to advance 

and translate the science of environmental health consequences for children. 

Objective: 

- Using the example of the gulf oil spill, participants will understand 

the complexities of assessing health risk implications for exposure to 

environmental contaminants. Concepts and tools for translating the evidence 

for clinicians and communities will be described 

Chairs: Ruth A. Etzel, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland and 

Catherine Karr, University of Washington, NW Pediatric Environmental 

Health Specialty Unit, Seattle, WA 

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is among the worst 

environmental disasters in American History. The impacts on child health 

are complicated and unfolding and include immediate as well as long 

term consequences on physical and mental health. Exploring this scenario 

underscores several features of addressing environmental health disasters in 

children. The exposures include a complex, evolving mixture of compounds 

for which toxicity information ranges from relatively robust to practically 

nil. Surveillance and monitoring require cooperation of public health and 

medical authorities at the local, state, and national level. Public concern and 

anxiety demand an efficient and trusted range of health risk communication 

approaches. This session will include presentations by a panel of leading 

scientists and pediatric environmental health specialists involved in evaluating 

and communicating the implications of this disaster on U.S. children.

4710 Neonatology: The First Golden Minutes of Life of 

the Preterm Infants 

PAS Hot Topic~Four Seasons 4 

Target Audience: Cinicians and researchers (pediatricians and neonatologists) 

who wish to obtain some updated information about delivery room approach to 

the preterm infant with respiratory distress. 

Objective: 

- To be better able to critically evaluate incorrect or not evidence based 

approaches in the delivery room to preterm infants with respiratory distress 

Chairs: Gianluca Lista, V.Buzzi Children’s Hospital ICP Milan, Italy and 

Marilyn B. Escobedo, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, 

Oklahoma City, OK 

It is accepted that premature infants need appropriate respiratory support and 

lung protective strategy, starting from the delivery room where, on the contrary, 

an inadequate respiratory approach may influence pulmonary outcome. From 

the first breaths, the preterm infant must be helped to clear the lung fluid, to 

recruit alveolar spaces, to form the functional residual capacity (FRC) while 

being protected from large tidal volume and shear stress forces. The choice 

of the adequate ventilatory strategy, the optimal positive end-expiratory 

pressure (PEEP) are crucial for outcome. Real need and timing for surfactant 

replacement need to be rediscussed focusing on the recent papers in the 

international literature. Many behaviours need to be standardized and guidelines 

need to be given.

4715A Viral Hepatitis – Update in 2011 


Target Audience: General pediatricians and pediatric gastroenterolgy, 

hepatology and nutrition specialists. 

Objectives: 

- To understand the pathogenic mechanisms of viral hepatitis and implication 

- To compare the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, viral factors , host 

factors, therapies, and preventions in the Eastern versus Western world 

Chairs: Mei Hwei Chang, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan 

and Ronald J. Sokol, University of Colorado School, CO 

Infection of hepatitis virus (A to E) is a world-wide health problem, which may 

cause acute, fulminant, or chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatoma. The 

pathogenesis of viral hepatitis is related to the host and virus interaction. Studies 

of the viral factors, such as viral genotypes, mutants or variants with or without 

antiviral therapies, viral titers, have rapidly advanced in the past decades. 

Research in the host factors also progressed rapidly in recent years. Although 

the complications of hepatitis related liver diseases often present in adults, 

primary infection frequently occurs in childhood. The patterns of epidemiology, 

transmission routes, clinical courses, viral genotypes, complications, prevention 

and management may be different in the Eastern and Western world. Updated 

knowledge of the virus-host interaction and the comparisons between the 

Eastern and Western world may have implications for the development of better 

strategies in the control of viral hepatitis and related complications..
