Pediatric Inclusive Clinical Skills
Activity
Active Large Group Session
Active Large Group Session
The inclusive clinical skills session series focuses on horizontal integration of social accountability in clinical skills, with one session per MF. Each session is sequenced to reflect and to build on learning in select Professional Competencies sessions, focusing on the translation of core skills pertinent to patient-centered history taking and physical examinations. Trauma-informed care principles will be highlighted in each session. We recognize learners may have varying levels of exposure and comfort interacting with pediatric populations across developmental ages and stages both in clinical learning environments, in prior workplace environments (e.g. tutoring, coaching, camp counselor roles, etc.) and in their personal lives.

- To practice components of an adolescent history with a focus on SSHADESS screening assessment.
- To discuss tensions between inclusive clinical skills formal curriculum (i.e. intended, official curriculum) and informal curriculum (i.e. ad-hoc learning on clinical rotations) reflecting on early clinical experiences.
- To explain our positionality as individual healthcare providers and its bidirectional impacts on clinical assessments.
