Academic Year 2009-10
Welcome to the Pediatric Emergency Medicine rotation at Children's Hospitals and Clinics – Minneapolis.
During this rotation, you will be scheduled to work approximately four 8 hour shifts per week (16 shifts total). Shift times do vary – please read the schedule carefully. As you read through the schedule, please contact me if you note any significant conflicts – efforts have been made to accommodate continuity clinics, education days and other on-call responsibilities. Unexcused absences e.g. illness, should be reported by you to your program Chief Resident or Program Director. They will then contact us with an appropriate replacement to fill your shift, if available.
On the day of your first shift, please come one hour early to the ED to complete medical education department paperwork (see below) and ED electronic medical record training (Firstnet). A computer module has been developed for you to run through as you start. It can be accessed at S:\Training\FirstNet Training\FirstNet Provider Training\EV_Lessons in the ED or by accessing the Powerkids training site on the Children's website in-house. ED staff can help you locate this training module and will be available to answer questions. The training should take about 30 minutes.
Prior to the start of your rotation, you will need to complete an online enrollment, which is available on the Children's Hospitals and Clinics Website. This enrollment process includes documentation required by Security, HIPPA, and the ACGME. PLEASE make sure you indicate which program you are from and submit a verifiable email address to complete the enrollment. You will need to update your enrollment for every rotation and each experience at Children's.
If you are OUTSIDE of Children's:
Copy, cut and paste this web-link into your web browser (e.g.. Internet Explorer)
https://www.childrenshc.org/applications/MedEdEnrollment/index.asp
If you are In-House at Childrens:
Go to the Children's Website at http://khan.childrensmn.org/. Navigate to Medical Education Department page, then to the Graduate Education Department, & click On-Line Enrollment in the middle portion of the page. Or, you can also access the link above, as if you were outside of Children’s.
Please Note:
1. You will need to complete the enrollment process at least one week prior to your start date to ensure you have the correct computer access when you arrive at Children's
2. If this is your first enrollment, the process will take approximately 30-45 minutes. When you return to either Children's campuses for future rotations, you will only need to "update" your information which will take just 5-10 minutes.
3. You will need your immunization dates to complete the enrollment form. If you are a Univ. of MN student or resident, you can go to your "MY-U"on the U of M website, under the health and wellness section, to view a copy of your immunizations. NOTE: All sections of the enrollment form must be completed to gain computer access at Children's. If you have problems with FirstNet access contact Corinne at 612/813-6206, corinne.wilcox@childrensmn.org, or call the help desk at 612/813-2500.
Parking is provided during this rotation. Meals are on your own. On your first day, go to the medical education office in the basement of Minneapolis Children's Hospital (across from the Starz Café) and ask for Corinne Wilcox. The parking card will require a $20 (cash) deposit that will be refunded when the card is returned at the end of the rotation. . If Corinne or Mickey is not there, a parking voucher can be obtained from a clipboard hanging by her door. Just sign it, and take a parking voucher. If you do not have a Children’s Photo I.D. you will need to complete a Photo ID Badge form. Please complete the form and take it to the first floor Photo I.D. Department to obtain your photo ID. (located on wall above the parking tickets).
There is one metro area pediatric emergency medicine conference that you are expected to attend - the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Metro Conference. This conference is held at 0800 on the fourth Friday of the month and rotates between the campuses of Children’s-Minneapolis or St. Paul, Hennepin County Medical Center and Regions Medical Center. Rotating residents and fellows present cases at this conference. Typically this is in the form of a 10 minute case presentation and discussion in a powerpoint format. A laptop and LCD are available at all sites. I would suggest that you bring your presentation on a portable jump or flash style drive.
While not mandatory, I think you will find the other conferences in the Children’s system very informative. Pediatric Grand Rounds take place on Tuesdays in Minneapolis and on Thursdays in St. Paul. Also, the monthly ED Departmental meetings frequently have a one-hour educational session. You are welcome to attend these conferences, as your schedule allows.
If you have any questions about the rotation, please feel free to contact me at (612) 813-6806 or patrick.carolan@childrensmn.org. We hope you enjoy the rotation and we look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Patrick L. Carolan, MD
