Description
Summary:To date, research in medical education in neonatology and paediatrics has been focused on fundamental changes to its structure and content aiming to improve outcomes of medical knowledge, skills, and behaviours and promote neonatal and paediatric health (3). [...]a holistic approach (2) is required for teaching and training that combines a traditional understanding of ethical theory and reasoning, advanced skills in communication and counseling, a disposition to engage in self-reflection and to an awareness of the emotional and spiritual dimensions of neonatal medicine and paediatrics. Over the past two decades, rising and burdensome health care costs have driven interest in the neonatal and paediatric practice of high-value care (HVC) and this has already inspired relevant training across all levels of medical education (8).
