“…After performing a literature review and discussing our plans with a national expert in the field, we completed an institution-wide SH needs assessment via an electronic survey of current pediatric residents and faculty. 7 We designed the curriculum content based on these results, along with input from primary care and behavior and development physicians, as well as school nurses involved in the Children's Hospital Colorado School Health Program. The short-term goal of our work was to increase knowledge of SH as it pertained to accommodations and school personnel.…”

“…6 A needs assessment via surveys of the residents and faculty at our institution demonstrated a similar need. 7 Based on our review of the literature, there is only one prior study evaluating outcomes of a formal SH curriculum that was implemented at a single institution in 1997–1999. 8 This study demonstrated improved self-perceived resident knowledge and skills, but no change in attitudes towards SH.…”

IntroductionPediatric residents encounter issues related to school health (SH) throughout their training, particularly in their continuity clinics, and often serve as liaisons between a patient's medical home and school environment. However, there is currently a paucity of formal education on SH for pediatric residents to prepare them for this role.MethodsWe created a 3-hour interactive learning conference that was delivered to four groups of six to eight pediatric residents during their intern year by a multidisciplinary team. Our curriculum focused on understanding the differences between individualized educational plans (IEPs), individualized health plans (IHPs), and 504 plans; the IEP process; and communication with schools. Residents were given pre- and postdidactic surveys, completed reflective writings, and participated in feedback sessions.ResultsTwenty-seven pediatric interns completed the curriculum; 85% and 74% had improved knowledge of IEP/504/IHP and SH personnel, respectively. Eighty-five percent reported feeling comfortable with family conversations about accommodations postcurriculum versus 0% precurriculum. The majority of interns found the curriculum to be valuable to their clinic performance.DiscussionOur curriculum offers a unique multidisciplinary approach to teaching and can be easily integrated into other residency programs, even with limited protected didactic time.
