  2. 教育计划 - 基本课程
    描述培训计划的以下要素：

    1. 临床和研究组件beplay苹果手机能用吗：
      • 临床科学：
        小儿心脏病学的临床培训将包括对所有年龄段患者的护理和研究的有组织和渐进的责任。需要暴露于急诊案件和非紧急情况。疾病类别将包括先天性缺陷以及获得的疾病，例如风湿热，感染性心内膜炎，心肌炎和川崎综合征。该培训将包括对儿科心脏和心血管手术患者的医疗责任。将强调对患者的随访，以了解心脏疾病的自然病史。对细菌性心内膜炎，风湿热和动脉粥样硬化的主要和次要预防性方面的全面了解。胸部roent术；M模式，2-D和多普勒超声心动图；地球监测，胎儿和经食管超声心动图和电生理学。需要在心脏导管实验室进行培训。 Each Fellow will have participated in a minimum of 125 cardiac catheterizations over the three-year training period. The Fellow will be involved in both right heart and retrograde left heart catheterizations and electrophysiology studies. Exposure to transcatheter techniques such as balloon atrial septostomy, blade atrial septostomy, balloon dilatation of stenotic lesions, implantation of stents, device closure of cardiac septal defects, coil embolization, cardiovascular foreign body retrieval, pacemaker implantation and ablation will be provided. A balanced view of relative merits of invasive and noninvasive evaluation of cardiac disease in infants and children will be an essential part of the curriculum.
      • 基础科学：
        Basic science training in pediatric cardiology will provide background in anatomy, embryology, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, pathology, genetics and statistics. Although no formal courses will be offered, the disciplines will be emphasized in organized conferences, rounds, and seminars. Monographs, books, and journal articles will be identified as required reading by the teaching staff. Fellows will be encouraged to attend graduate courses to gain greater basic science knowledge.
      • beplay苹果手机能用吗：
        Fellows will be involved in ongoing clinical research in pediatric cardiology. Fellows will prepare protocols, conduct clinical research, and write manuscripts under guidance from the staff. Fellows with interest in basic research will be involved in collaborative basic science investigations with faculty in the Medical School. Approximately one-third of the time will be directed to research activities.
      • Teaching：
        Fellows will be provided the opportunity to teach medical students, residents and nursing/paramedical staff.
    2. 参与者的监督和患者护理责任：

      那家伙在住院服务将(丙氨酸ending on-service) provide care for inpatients at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital which include: all patients on Pedi Cardiology service, all consultations to Pedi Cardiology service and all in-patient procedures such as electrocardiograms, Holters, exercise tests and transthoracic echocardiograms. These originate from our 100-bed NICU, step-down nursery, 20-bed Pediatric ICU, 80-bed General Pediatric Service, Pediatric Surgery Service, and Pediatric Subspecialties (e.g. Nephrology, Pulmonary). The fellow will assign some patients to be followed by 4th-year elective students and pediatric residents; however, all patients will be followed by the fellow and supervise the 4th-year elective students and pediatric residents. The fellow in turn will be supervised by the attending. Cardiac catheterization procedures (diagnostic, electrophysiology and interventional) are performed by the fellow who is on Cath service and is directly supervised by the Interventional Pediatric Cardiologists and Pediatric Electrophysiologist, as appropriate. The fellow on Echo service will participate in obtaining and interpreting transesophageal and fetal echocardiograms under direct supervision Pediatric Cardiology attendings that specialize in echocardiography. Fellows are responsible for seeing outpatients in the clinic eight half-days weekly when on outpatient service. The fellow will obtain history, perform physical examination and review the results of laboratory tests and formulate a management plan and present the data to the Pediatric Cardiology attending. The fellow is directly supervised by the Pediatric Cardiology attending.

    3. Procedural requirements：
      研究员将学习执行和解释transthoracic, transesophageal and fetal echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology studies. They will also participate in interventional catheterization, ablation procedures and pacemaker implantations. Other non-invasive procedures that they are required to perform and interpret will include ECGs, Holter and event recordings, stress testing, tilt-table test and pacemaker-checks.
    4. Didactic components：
      在整个奖学金计划中，涵盖小儿心脏病学重要方面的工作人员将进行讲座。将邀请来访的儿科心脏病专家为其特殊专业知识领域提供讲座。小儿心脏病学部分需要出席，小儿心脏病学/心脏手术会议，心脏病学/心脏手术发病率和死亡率会议以及与儿科心脏病学有关的有组织会议。研究员将被要求就儿科心脏病学主题进行研讨会和讨论，并鼓励在奖学金的第二年和/或第三年参加儿科心脏病学的全国会议。
    5. Progression in 2nd and 3rd years:
      第二年和第三年的研究员在患者护理和教学方面将逐渐承担更大的责任。例如，在第一年的同伴中，心脏导管插入术和介入导管插入术的暴露量有限，而第二年的研究员将更多地参与这些程序。尽管在参加儿科心脏病学家的密切监督下，第三年的研究员几乎将几乎独立执行这些程序。同样，第二年的研究员将在超声心动图和运动测试中承担更高的责任。虽然第一年的研究员可能没有大量参与进行和解释经疾病和胎儿超声心动图，但第二年和第三年的研究员将参与这些程序。
  3. Evaluation
    Describe the formal evaluation process used to assess the educational performance of program participants. A mechanism has been developed to evaluate the following areas: a) degree of attainment of program objectives; b) assessment of fellow performance and c) assessment of staff performance. The evaluations will be used to provide feedback to correct the detected deficiencies. Faculty from the Division of Pediatric Cardiology who are involved in the fellow’s training will participate in evaluating the fellows on a quarterly basis. A standardized evaluation instrument will be used to assess progress in acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes. The fellow will evaluate the experiences and training received. He/she will evaluate teaching skills of faculty in assisting the fellow’s acquisition of knowledge, attitude and skills.
