Chasing the 1, 3, 6: Closing the Gap in Pediatric Medical Resident Education
Pediatricians are on the front line for their expertise in all areas of a child's development, but how much do they know about hearing loss in infants and young children? For the past 14 years, CEID has been providing a half day intensive seminar to pediatric medical residents in the San Francisco Bay area to fill in the gaps in their knowledge. In addition, we have created the Pediatric Resource Guide to Infant and Childhood Hearing Loss, now in it's third edition, to use as a training manual and reference book for pediatricians. The goal of the program is to make sure pediatricians are overseeing that children are not lost to follow up, that they are ensuring parents feel properly supported, and that medical residents have an understanding of how a newborn goes from newborn hearing screening to being connected to all the services that they need to flourish.
- Participants will be able identify the gaps in pediatric training programs in regards to hearing in infants and young children and knowing what considerations to take in setting up their own partnerships and training.
- Participants will describe the Pediatric Resident Training Program and the guidebook developed as a resource to support pediatricians with young patients with a confirmed or suspected hearing loss to make sure they meet the recommended 1,3,6 timelines.
- Participants will be able to name some of the topics that are included in the Pediatric Resident Training.
