The perspectives of patients and families are critical to providing holistic pediatric care. In addition to partnering with families in direct clinical care of their children, parent and family perspectives may also help guide development of educational programs in order to address key communication-related milestones from multiple domains in the new pediatric milestones 2.0 – specifically, systems-based practice and interpersonal and communication skills. The presenters – a group of clinical faculty, trainees, and family members – have developed a curriculum in which family members serve in the role of faculty (i.e., family-faculty), whereby they deliver teaching points directly to trainees by drawing upon their own experiences. These perspectives accelerate learning and metacognition, as well as empathy with patients and families, thus leading to better shared decisions.

In this workshop, presenters will describe this curricular partnership that fosters meaningful dialogue between trainees and families. They will share the process of developing the curriculum, evaluations, outcomes, and pitfalls that have been learned along the way. Attendees will have the opportunity to consider strategies to incorporate the family voice into their own curricula, rooted in programmatic goals and educational competencies. Small groups will provide a forum for workshop attendees to discuss current programs at their respective institutions and ideas for future curricula with family and faculty facilitators; these will also be shared among the larger group for broader dialogue. A family-faculty curriculum toolkit will be shared with attendees to help them develop an educational program of interest.
