To complement bedside teaching in the PICU, the Division hosts a series of educational activities:
- Fellow’s curriculum consisting of weekly sessions with all the division faculty and fellows to review and discuss core topics in the fundamentals of physiology and pathophysiology of critical care medicine and in pediatric cardiac critical care with the following goals:
- To build a solid foundation for the clinical practice of critical care that complements the fellow's experiential learning in the PICU and
- To nurture the growth of fellows as future academic clinicians, investigators and educators.
