Educational Curriculum/Didactic Teaching

I think doing simulation training in neonatology, which includes ECMO simulation, is a unique asset at Cincinnati Children's. – Tara Lang, MD

We offer a comprehensive educational and didactic program to our fellows, and much of the program has been designed based on suggestions by the fellows. Didactic teaching and lectures include:

  1. Scientific Basis of Neonatology: a weekly neonatology review given by the faculty with a focus on evidence-based medicine and board review. This lecture series follows a neonatal text and also incorporates topics pertinent to NICU follow-up.
  2. Statistics and Experimental Design: a bimonthly lecture that covers a variety of statistical topics, including critical analysis of journal articles, general statistics information and the opportunity to discuss the statistics of individual research projects.
  3. Journal Club: a monthly critical analysis of the current literature with Alan Jobe, MD, PhD
  4. Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) Rounds: bimonthly rounds and lectures to discuss management of neonates with congenital heart disease and cardiac issues.
  5. Fellows Rounds: hospital-wide didactics for all fellows that address pertinent topics like grant writing, interviewing skills, negotiation and career development.
  6. Neonatal Grand Rounds (NGR): a weekly lecture given by both faculty and fellows about current topics in neonatology, providing a great opportunity to learn and review the current literature and discuss care practices. Each fellow presents one NGR topic and one morbidity and mortality case in this venue annually. You can view recent NGR presentations online.

Simulation Training

To enhance the procedural skills and critical clinical skills of fellows in a supportive environment, a unique neonatal simulation curriculum has been designed. Fellows participate in neonatal scenarios in a state-of-the-art simulation center multiple times during their three year training, gaining opportunities to both learn and teach others. Fellows also gain experience in ECMO care through simulation training.
