Spring ACC Meeting Minutes Introduction Election time! Projects New Administrative support for SPCTPD Finances How other programs do QI and Research Julie Glickstein spoke about the QI experience at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital. They have had multiple projects, but one of the most successful projects (nearing publication) focused on improving the fellow clinic experience, including continuity of care. Susan Etheridge spoke about fellow research at the University of Utah, including a number of research forums and mentoring opportunities. “Research on a napkin” is a novel concept discussed. New this year - "Formal" off-site Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Research Night, with 10-minute formal PPT presentations. They also offer a “Spirited Research Meeting” - established by fellows, with a relaxed atmosphere. There are also grant writing workshops sponsored by the Department of Pediatrics, taking place in Deer Valley in spring and fall (off season for skiing). They have many opportunities, including Intermountain Health, population science, basic, clinical, translational, genetics, and personalized medicine. A MSCI offered to one fellow per year - fellows apply to the program. They offer full financial support for any type of fellow presentation at meetings. Rob Ross updated the group on CoPS. Our past-president is our CoPS Representative. Rob has been on the CoPs for a number of years and is now sponsored by the AAP. Rob is also chair of the CoPS workforce survey, the next edition of which is coming soon. CoPs is also interested in advocacy, and will be attending congressional sessions in May advocating for medical education and training. He reminded PDs that Progress in Pediatric Cardiology https://www.journals.elsevier.com/progress-in-pediatric-cardiology (PPC) is the official journal of the SPCTPD, and is a great target for QI projects. PPC offers a quick turnaround - fellows should mention that they are in training and it will be quick. |
