    • Able to interact with students of the class who have their Peds rotation coming up in the subsequent 3 months. Designed to mimic a clinic half day, each faculty member will be in an MDL room with your particular case. The students have 30 minutes with you to go through the case/skills. Then there is a 10-minute buffer between rooms. The students will move. You stay put and will deliver the same content 5 times. There are 9-10 students per group.

    • The medical students get two lectures that morning (intro to HEADSSS and Adolescent-Specific care in the military system). The students then see a modeled HEADSSS exam and then break into virtual groups (2 per room) and take turns role-playing as the patient and provider in 2 different adolescent scenarios. The students then come back together to discuss lessons learned from performing the HEADSSS exam. Teaching in this session would entail facilitating the debrief small groups of 12-15 students.
