Family-Led Academic Grand Rounds

noon–1 p.m. CST via Zoom Thursday afternoons

A collaborative initiative between the University of Wisconsin’s Waisman Center, the Department of Pediatrics in the School of Medicine and Public Health, and the Bluebird Way Foundation has created 5 virtual Family-Led Academic Grand Rounds (FLAG Rounds) focused on Ableism in Pediatrics. These national, quarterly educational sessions will be led and presented by families. FLAG Rounds flips the traditional grand rounds model and embraces family as educators. Family Faculty will present an aspect of their “case” as a story and then offer strategies to develop knowledge, skills and abilities to perform, or partner in, the essential activities of care of children with disabilities and/or medical complexity.

Whose Expectation is it Anyway? Access, Care and Humanization

12-1 p.m. CST

HSLC 1335 & zoom

Session Overview: Life is full of expectations — of ourselves, others, groups, professions, the law, ethics, morality and more. For children with disabilities, expectations are chronically low and often fueled by lack of knowledge, assumptions and apathy. One effective tool to combat these expectations and biases is to form partnerships between clinicians and families. Using stories from lived experience that illustrate examples of substandard care, dehumanization and inaccessibility, we will provide guidance on how to tackle barriers and discrimination together.
