The University of Wisconsin Department of Pediatrics offers several online learning opportunities for physicians and other pediatric health care providers. They focus on timely topics related to pediatric care, and provide valuable education in a convenient, self-directed format that’s available anytime.
SUGARPREP
SUGARPREP is a suite of free educational products used to prepare medical providers to work in resource-limited settings. It consists of the SUGAR Trio, a comprehensive set of curricular resources for use by global health educators. The Trio is comprised of:
- SUGAR (Simulation Use for Global Away Rotations) Sim Cases: a simulation-based curriculum that focuses on common challenges, both practical and emotional, faced when working in resource-limited settings.
- PEARLS (Procedural Education for Adaptation to Resource-Limited Settings): a series of downloadable or streaming videos which demonstrate how to modify medical procedures using supplies commonly found in resource-limited settings.
- S-PACK (SUGAR’s Pre-Departure Activities Curricular Kit): a comprehensive pre-departure global health curriculum that is modular and modifiable.
Acute Otitis Media Training Program
This program is designed to improve the learning of the pediatric ear exam and the diagnosis and management of Acute Otitis Media (AOM) in different educational settings. The content of the website is designed to provide information to pertinent learner groups as well as to faculty.
Diabetes in School Health (DiSH)
DiSH® (Diabetes in School Health) ECHO is a monthly school diabetes health teleconferencing program for school nurses and school personnel who care for students with diabetes. Each ECHO session will have a 10-15 minute talk by a pediatric diabetes expert followed by 45-50 minutes of discussion of de-identified cases and questions to promote collaborative learning between school personnel in communities across the state.
Wisconsin Shine Sonographer Education
This self-directed online learning module is designed to assist cardiac sonographers in performing the initial neonatal echocardiogram as part of a comprehensive evaluation for hypoxia. This activity is available for 2 SDMS CME credit hours for sonographers. It is not eligible for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
Pediatric Sedation Program
This self-directed online training module has two sections:
- Moderate sedation credentialing, which gives physicians an understanding of essential monitoring and management requirements for sedating the pediatric patient. Successful completion of the pediatric sedation test at the end of this section partially satisfies faculty credentialing requirements for obtaining pediatric sedation privileges.
- Pediatric sedation education, which provides physicians with general continuing education on approaches, principles, and topics related to pediatric sedation.
Primary Care Dermatology Module: Nomenclature of Skin Lesions
This self-directed online training module helps the learner describe and identify the major types of skin lesions, a necessary step toward identifying diseases of the skin or diseases that may have cutaneous manifestations. Not eligible for credit.
