Full Schedule

This course will provide education and instruction in core principles of ethics related to the practice of medicine, designed to satisfy ACGME Common Program Requirement IV.5. and provide much of the National Institutes of Health Requirement for Instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research. It may also be incorporated into plans to satisfy National Science Foundation RCR training requirements. As such, this course will be substantially more in-depth than the briefer review of ethical issues that will be done during the concurrent APPD/PAS Core Curriculum – Track #2. Agenda 9:00-9:15 – Introduction – Format for the conference. Intro of speakers. John D. Lantos MD, Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas City 9:15-9:55 – Mentoring, coaching, and sponsorship for early career physicians and scientists Tyler Smith MD, Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas City This session will discuss how to enter into mentoring relationships, what to expect, and what to do when they are not working. We will analyze the role of mentor and mentee. We will also talk about how to end mentoring relationships with specific practical advice. 9:55-10:35- 360o of Human Subjects Protections in Clinical and Translational Pediatrics Research Lainie Ross, MD, PhD. The University of Chicago This session will cover the resources available to promote the ethical conduct of pediatric research. We will discuss the roles and responsibilities of the institutional review board (IRB), the research subject advocate (RSA), the research ethics consultation (REC), the Community Advisory Board (CAB), and the principal investigator (PI). We will then engage in an interactive discussion of various case studies. 10:35-10:45 Break 10:45-11:25 - Wellness and Professionalism: How to Not Freak Out (Too Much) nor Burn Out and Have Some Fun, & Be Kind and Courageous Chris Feudtner, MD, PhD, MPH. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia This session will talk about the psychological challenges that arise in the high-pressure environment of tertiary care pediatrics, cutting edge research, pressures to publish and succeed, and the need for work-life balance. 11:25-12:05 – Intraprofessional dynamics in clinical care and research Angela Ellison MD. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia This session will deal with the team dynamics with a particular focus on microaggressions and microcompliments, disparate treatment based on race, ethnicity or gender, and the responsibilities that we have for one another on a clinical or research team. 12:05-1:00 Lunch Break 1:00-1:40 Cultural and Structural Humility in Research and Practice Amy Caruso Brown, MD, MA, SUNY Upstate Medical University We all bring certain cultural baggage with us to clinical and research encounters. Our patients and research participants do, too. And we meet in the cultural environment of medicine. Conflicts arise. In this session, we will analyze how to recognize and respond to those conflicts. 1:40-2:20 Openly Doctoring: Navigating Social Media as a Physician Alyssa Burgart MD, MA, Stanford University Physician social media use can bolster advocacy, academic work, and professional networking. In this session, we will discuss navigating the professional benefits and pitfalls of social media, and how being a small “p” public figure can impact your career. 2:20-2:30 Break 2:30-3:10 Who owns ideas? John D. Lantos MD, Children’s Mercy/University of Missouri – Kansas City In this session, we will talk about authorship and research collaborations. We will discuss questions about who owns ideas, who should be first author, order of authorship, and plagiarism. We will offer practical advice for claiming credit for ideas while maintaining harmonious collaborative relationships. 3:10-3:50 Case Studies in Ethics and Professionalism The Faculty In this last session, we will discuss particular cases from our own experience or from the workshop participants. Cases can be in clinical ethics, research ethics, professionalism, or any of the topics discussed during the day. 3:50-4:00 Wrap up and evaluation

The Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Exam: a mini workshop about the principles of the comprehensive and standardized neonatal neurological exam. A didactic portion (20 min) about use and findings in HIE will be followed by a video demonstration and “how-to” (15 min); A scoring portion will challenge the audience to notice abnormal findings on a dictionary of videos (15 min). Hammersmith-approved workshop will be taught by SPR Junior member Kristen Benninger, M.D., Nationwide Children's Hospital 3. Acute Symptomatic Seizures in the Newborn: 45-minute lecture with interactive cases throughout that will allow problem solving and questions to ensure active learning for adult learners. Courtney Wusthoff, M.D., Director, Neurocritical Care at Stanford Children's Hospital Shavonne Massey, M.D., Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia 4. Outcomes in HIE: This will be a two-part 45-min. symposium followed with an additional 10 min throughout with questions and polling from the audience. The first part of this section will be prediction based on NICU treatment and neuroimaging results; the second will be on new interventions that change trajectories of development after the NICU. A case discussion will thread through the two parts, with a patient followed from birth to two years with imaging, predictions, and MRI. This case will tie into the next part of the course. This workshop will be taught Sunny Juul, M.D. PhD, University of Washington 5. Giving Diagnoses & Prognosis after Neural Insults: a 55-min. interactive workshop. This will start with a 5-min recorded video testimony from the parent in the previous section talking about how she experienced hearing the news about her child’s HIE in the NICU. It will be followed by a 25-minute lecture on literature and practical principles of giving serious diagnoses. Finally, in an interactive 25-min experience, the audience will see first a conversation that goes poorly between a physician and parent, then with the help of the moderator, will be able to change the conversation by sending in recommendations, to have a more supportive, honest, direct and hopeful conversation. The course is led by Sarah Winter M.D, University of Utah, and SPR Junior Member Mary Lauren Neel M.D., Nationwide Children’s Hospital 6. Designing a Research Question: 40-minute panel discussion with two experts. This session will breakdown the process of 1) identifying a question 2) designing a pilot study to test the hypothesis and 3) suggest the next funding/research step after the pilot. The three topics for the panel will be Animal Models, Translational, and Clinical Trials. The speakers will be Tommy Wood, BM BCh PhD, University of Washington, and Roberta Ballard, M.D., UC San Francisco. A moderator will ensure that questions from the audience can be passed seamlessly to the three speakers. To learn more about scientific journeys and basic, translational, and clinical research in HIE, we suggest attending the SPR-sponsored symposium "A Tribute to Dr. Maria Delivoria-Papadopoulos: From Basic Science to Clinical Trials – Physician-Researcher Journeys and Collaborations in Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy.”
