Location:
Houston, TX
Description:
Goals ContinuedBaylor College of Medicine and Department Summary:The Pediatric Critical Care Nephrology Instructor program at Baylor College of Medicine provides specialized training for graduates of Pediatric Critical Care, Pediatric Nephrology, or Perinatal/Neonatal Medicine fellowships to foster future clinical research collaboration between pediatric nephrologists, pediatric intensivists, and neonatologists and to provide additional training in extracorporeal therapies. There are three available tracks for the instructors depending on their background and future career development. Critical Care This additional training is for critical care physicians who wish to enhance their understanding of fluid and electrolyte management, acute kidney injury diagnosis and management as well as application of renal extracorporeal therapies in the pediatric intensive care unit. Additionally, it is a platform to gain more experience in renal replacement therapy utilization especially for those who seek to serve geographic areas where expertise in pediatric dialysis is limited. Nephrology The instructorship is also available to graduates of pediatric nephrology fellowship programs. The goal of this program is to provide education in the theoretical and practical aspects of critical care medicine to help instructors develop a high level of competence in managing patients with life:threatening illnesses with a high degree of physiological instability. The instructors will be expected to complete an original clinical research project in the area of pediatric acute kidney injury or renal replacement therapy while gaining full expertise in all extracorporeal therapies offered by Texas Children's Critical Care Nephrology program. Neonatology For neonatology graduates interested in further training in Critical Care Nephrology, an optional one:year of training is available through the Critical Care Nephrology Instructor Program. The goal of this program is to provide education in the theoretical and practical aspects of nephrology as practiced in the critical care setting, specifically the NICU to help instructors develop a high level of understanding of dialytic and nondialytic therapies for common renal diseases in the neonate. SummaryThe increasing complexity of the patients cared for intensive care units has led to need for development of niche expertise in emerging fields. More than 60 of the pediatric intensive care unit patients have highly complex comorbidities and are in increasing need of sophisticated life support. The available extracorporeal support modalities have increased in number and complexity, and this trajectory is expected to remain steep for the foreseeable future. The continued development of novel extracorporeal therapies and improved care for critically ill patients has led to a growing interest in critical care nephrology as a career path. Bridging disciplines will allow optimal management of knowledge accumulation to handle the increasing complexity in the critical care setting. Training of competent individuals in specialized centers with adequate patient volume is essential for spread of expertise across the discipline. The Renal Critical Care Service includes care of patients in the intensive care units. The overall goals of the instructor year are to develop a deeper knowledge of the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, and management of acute and chronic kidney disease and a sophisticated understanding of renal replacement therapy and other extracorporeal therapies in the critical patient. GoalsDevelop a deeper knowledge of the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, and management of acute and chronic kidney disease in the general ICU, cardiac ICU, neonatal ICU, and other special care areas such as bone marrow transplant unit and cardiac and non:cardiac step:down units. stylelist:style:type:circle::Employ critical thinking and evid
