Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to:

Patient Care Discussion:
1) Describe at least one possible treatment method for a disease process.
2) Describe an approach to a patient with an uncertain diagnosis.
3) Outline and analyze unique/novel approaches to the care of hospitalized patients.
Faculty Development:
1) Describe quality improvement (QI) processes and current institutional QI projects.
2) Identify behaviors and activities that can promote personal wellness.
3) Describe best practices within medical education (i.e. precepting, lecturing, providing feedback, writing letters of recommendation)
4) Identify new and pre-existing opportunities to enhance personal professional development and lead to scholarly productivity.
Core Conference:
1) Describe the pathophysiology of a given condition, including targets for therapeutic interventions.
2) Plan the diagnostic workup and treatment for a patient with a suspected/confirmed condition.
3) Describe the complications and long-term sequelae associated with a condition, including necessary surveillance and management.
Journal Club:
1) As a result of the EBM sessions, the participant will be able to:
Formulate a PICO(T) question related to diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.
2) Assess the validity of a clinical study (randomization, concealment, prognostic balance).
3) Assess the results of a clinical study using EBM concepts and statistical measures (NNT, PPV, NPV, risk ratio, odds ratio, sensitivity, specificity, etc.).
4) Determine how (and if) the results of a study can be applied to patient care (population similarity, appropriateness of outcomes, benefit/harm).
5) Utilize evidence-based medicine to assess current clinical practices and inform quality improvement efforts and clinical practice guideline development.
Pediatric Event Review and Learning (PEaRL)
1) Define and understand basic patient safety terms such as adverse event, near miss, and root cause analysis.
2) Identify the potential for error within the system.
3) Recognize and define key types of medical errors.
4) Describe the different types of cognitive errors.
5) Demonstrate effective teamwork skills involved in error analysis and root cause analysis.
6) Draw and illustrate a written diagram of an Ichikawa fishbone root cause analysis to identify the root causes of the medication error.
7) Identify areas in their own practice and local system that can be changed to improve the processes and outcomes of care.
8) Develop an action plan for the prevention of error in the future.
9) Demonstrate collaborative teamwork skills using a shared learning model with peers.
