Pediatric
Hospital Medicine
Brought to
you with support from the Joint Council of Pediatric Hospital Medicine (JCPHM)
Strategic Planning (STP) Committee UPDATE
In the past months since PHM
2011, the STP Committee has been working on documents to share with the
pediatric hospital medicine community that reflect the work done to date on certification
options for our field. On this site, you will find the options considered with “pro
and con” lists for each. Please feel free to leave your comments for each option or general comments on this blog. The options are not listed in any preferential order.
At PHM 2011, many questions
were generated and answered. The following FAQs may be of value:
What am I to do with this information on
options for PHM certification?
--- Please review the documents; if you wish to provide a comment, please do so
with the link below.
What is going to be done with the
comments?--- The STP co-chairs
will collate all comments over the next 3 months. An additional STP Update will
be posted if clarifications are needed based on comments received.
What are the next steps in this review
process? – The STP committee will
review the work to date and vet each option. They will use any resources needed
to assure a balanced review is completed. A prioritized list of these options
will be provided to the Pediatric Hospital Medicine community. The APA, AAP,
and SHM society representatives to the JCPHM will similarly address all
options, soliciting input from the respective society boards and pediatric
hospitalist members and leadership of the three core societies. The JCPHM will
use this information to prioritize certification options. A final decision on
certification will be made using all of this information.
If I cannot commit the time to
participate in the next phase STP Committee work, how can I let my views be
know? --- Please use the link
below to post a comment. Please also contact your society representative in the
APA, AAP, and/or SHM to present your views.
How were decisions made for other
subspecialties in pediatrics? Did they use a similar process? --- Other subspecialties did not use this process. Pediatric
emergency medicine, child abuse, adult hospital medicine, and others used
varied methods but the assessment of options and participation of the community
at large was not a component of their work. By instituting the STP Committee
and the above process, the pediatric hospital medicine certification assessment
and decision-making process allows for more engagement of practicing pediatric
hospitalists.
