Grand Rounds are a respected method of medical education. While all institutions host regular Grand Rounds, families are occasional presenters. Education to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes essential to the care of children with disability and/or medical complexity, to build relationships, to partner with families as a member of a multidisciplinary team, to navigate uncertainty and disability bias, or to have difficult conversations takes time and practice.
Most importantly, it requires regular teaching by those with lived experience. It is powerful and informative when family members present their stories to illustrate the core competencies essential to becoming a physician who is willing to work in partnership with children with disability and/or medical complexity and their families.
The University of Wisconsin- Madison will partner with the Bluebird Way Foundation to host and produce 5 virtual Family-Led Academic Grand “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 positions families as medical educators. Families will present an aspect of their “case” as a story and then offer strategies to develop knowledge, skills and abilities to partner in the essential activities of care of children with disability and/or medical complexity.
