We expect that our clinicians provide evidence-based care for their patients. Similarly, we should expect that our educators provide evidence- based teaching for their learners. However, navigating the educational literature and interpreting the nomenclature can feel daunting. With impactful, high quality publications ranging across the continuum of undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education, in addition to educational innovations being described in specialties beyond pediatrics, it would be useful to have a tailored resource for pediatric educators.
This session plans to address that need.
Now in our fourth year presenting this Symposium (fifth year accepted), we will present and synthesize the most relevant and practice-changing articles in medical education from the year 2020. An expert panel of pediatric educators from the APA Education Committee will review the medical education literature using a modified Delphi approach to determine the top 15-16 articles in medical education. These articles will have the highest relevance to the teaching of pediatrics and potential to change teaching and curricular development across the continuum of education. The articles will be grouped into thematic areas that develop through the process (not selected a priori), but attention will be paid to providing a diversity of articles covering all points in the education continuum. Members of the expert panel will present the different thematic areas as "Hot Topics" for this presentation, including areas of controversy and areas for further scholarship. Audience members will be invited to engage with the presenters to discuss the issues.
