The Department of Pediatrics offers programs and events year-round to enhance the working and learning environment at IU School of Medicine and enrich the communities in which department faculty and students treat pediatric patients and their families.
The Department of Pediatrics conducts a weekly Grand Rounds education series. Grand Rounds are held on Wednesday mornings from 8-9 am in both a Zoom and live audience format. Participants are able to receive continuing medical education (CME) credit.
Grand Rounds in the Department of Pediatrics serves as an integral part of the educational experience across all levels of learning — attendance is encouraged for medical students, residents, fellows and faculty as well as collaborating IU Health partners in pediatrics across multiple disciplines. Topics and presenters are selected to reflect timely issues and knowledge in the treatment of pediatric patients, their families, and the providers who care for them.
The Pediatric Fellow Education Series serves to educate fellows in a variety of areas based on ACGME learning recommendations. Faculty presenters will cover topics related to scholarship, communication, professionalism, teaching, practice based learning and improvement, system based practice, and career development. Seminars are held on Tuesdays or Thursdays, noon or 4 pm, and may be 60 or 90 minutes long.
Camp Riley is an annual summer camp program that lets children with physical disabilities experience life without limits and adventures that help them build confidence and friendships. Every summer, Camp Riley welcomes approximately 200 children between the ages of 8 and 18 from throughout Indiana and several other states. Campers participate in activities such as horseback riding, swimming, waterskiing, climbing and archery. IU School of Medicine pediatric residents have an opportunity to help provide medical care for these campers.
