Education

The academic program consists of bedside teaching, formal educational sessions, division and hospital-wide conferences and faculty development seminars. Fellows attend the CNH Fellows College, an institution-wide monthly seminar focused on medical education, research skills, quality improvement and leadership. This series is geared toward subspecialty fellows at Children’s National and is taught by faculty members within and outside of the division, many of whom have completed the Master Teacher Leadership Development Program at the George Washington University. Hospital Medicine Division conferences occur on a monthly basis and consist of journal club, morbidity and mortality conference, board review and clinical case conference. There are a multitude of faculty development and research conferences that occur throughout the year for all faculty in our division, which fellows are encouraged to take part in. Fellows are expected to contribute to division conferences and play a major teaching role while on the inpatient service. On a regular basis, faculty members observe the fellow’s teaching activities and provide feedback.
