ROTATION SCHEDULE

Rotations and Conferences Lead to Learning and Growth Flexibility is one of the keys to success for the pediatric residency training program at UT Southwestern. In addition to the rotations listed below, learning continues during conferences, reports and rounds. The following is a list of some of the conferences available to you during your three-year residency: Interactive Morning Report: Seniors and interns have their own conferences Grand Rounds Noon Conference (lunch provided) Specialty Conferences (Tumor Board, Cardiology Conference, NICU Conference) Child Abuse Grand Rounds Pathology D & D M&M Conference (resident-run) Critically Appraised Topics PL-1 Year (Continuity Clinics All Year) General Pediatric Wards G.I. Hem/Onc Renal Cardio Newborn Nursery NICU Outpat Acute Care Outpatient Elective E.R. Night Float PL-2 Year (Continuity Clinics All Year) E.R. Outpatient Elective Ward Senior NICU Behavior Develop- mental Night Float PICU Elective Ambulatory Surgery PICU night float ACN Float PL-3 Year (Continuity Clinics All Year) Adolescent NICU Sr.3 E.R. PICU Night Float Comm. Peds Ward Senior** PICU night float Elective Elective Outpatient Elective *Continuity Clinics are 1/2 day per week on average **Option for hospitalist experience The above are representative schedules and may vary. Individual Program Design The program shown above describes a common curriculum for our residents. The elective time generally provides the flexibility to obtain specific education in areas that meet personal interest and career goals. However, we are also committed to additional modifications in the curriculum that allow particular preparation for academic careers and subspecialty training (for example, The Special Alternative Pathway, The Integrated Research Pathway, The Accelerated Research Pathway, Subspecialty Fast-Tracking and Combined Subspecialty Training). In this spirit, the Program Director will work with residents who wish to follow one of the tracks approved by the American Board of Pediatrics that blend general pediatric and subspecialty education. Individuals who are pursuing a career as a physician scientist have ambundant opportunities on campus during their residency. The Program Director and faculty mentors assist residents in designing special research electives created to provide opportunities to work with UT Southwestern scientists and clinicians in areas of subspecialty interest. The Physician Scientist Training Program offers highly individualized research training and career development for physician scientists at the fellowship level. Residents interested in Pediatric Neurology are given special consideration in scheduling to prepare them for the two year curriculum in pediatrics as outlined by the American Board of Pediatrics. The American Board of Pediatrics has specified the curricular content for these two years in pediatrics and residents seeking training in neurology are encouraged to pursue additional elective rotations in addition to these requirements. Residents interested in general pediatrics are able to pursue their career interests through the flexibility in our curriculum. Over the course of three years, trainees may work with the Program Director to generate a focus on primary care through the abundant elective time provided. This flexibility allows residents to explore general pediatrics without commitment to a restricted track, so that they may individualize their curriculum to suit their personal goals – even when those goals change.
