Our Lady of the Lake Pediatric Emergency Department Rotation
GOALS and OBJECTIVES
What follows are the goals and objectives for the OLOL Pediatric ED rotation, that will
range from a 2 week to 1 month rotation, as assigned by the Program Director. The
rotation will take place at the OLOL Hospital in the Pediatric ED. The year of training may
include PGY 1-5.
The educational objectives of the OLOL Pediatric ED rotation are to:
1) Gain expertise in the recognition and management of pediatric emergencies.
2) Gain expertise in pediatric resuscitation, including Pediatric Advanced Life
Support, emergent intubation, fluid administration, and drug dosages.
3) Become familiar with the management of non-emergent pediatric conditions
which commonly present to the Emergency Department.
4) Gain expertise in the performance of routine procedures such as venipuncture
and arterial puncture.
5) Become familiar with pediatric medication dosages.
The clinical and didactic experiences used to meet those objectives included daily
patient care in the OLOL Pediatric ED, along with bedside teaching. The rotating resident
is encouraged to attend lectures available at OLOL pertaining to the care of the pediatric
patient. This rotation experience is part of the greater pediatric emergency medicine
curriculum, also including PALS provider and instructor certification and weekly didactics
(part of the overall didactic curriculum).
The feedback mechanisms and methods used to evaluate the performance of the
resident include an end of rotation global evaluation. Immediate feedback may also be
given to the resident, and any significant problems will be discussed during the rotation
with the LSU EM administration.
The resources and facilities in the institution that will be available to each resident
include computer access to Up To Date and the LSU Library services, including current
texts in pediatrics and emergency medicine. There is a rent free, secure apartment
available during the rotation for resident use. The residents will have access to the
resources of the hospital including medical texts, medical records and cafeteria.
The clinical experiences, duties and responsibilities the resident will have on the
rotation: Residents will act as a part of the Emergency Medicine team in a community
pediatric hospital under the supervision of a staff physician. The residents will
participate in the initial management of emergency department patients, to include
pediatric trauma and general medical patients.
The relationship that will exist between emergency medicine residents and faculty on
the service: The overall goals of resident education and patient care will govern the
relationship between faculty and residents. Residents will receive 24 hour supervision
while on the rotation. All patient care and medical charts will be reviewed and signed by
the ED faculty prior to patient discharge.
Duty hours for this rotation will not exceed an average of 60hrs/week, and will include 1
in 7 days off.
