Topic of the Week Blog

http://depts.washington.edu/uwpeds/tow/

From Dr. Mollie Grow, Associate Program Director and Continuity Clinic Director:

TOW is intended to provide standard teaching topics that allow us to review key aspects of outpatient care for children. Each month I try to include a range of topics so that if you’re on a clinic month you’ll have variety, from well visits to acute care issues that affect all ages, including social determinants of health. The format is structured around case-based resources and review materials that can stimulate discussion. For each topic, I write a brief bulleted highlight of the topic that everyone can review by email, whether you are in clinic or not. I’ve created a blog format with hyperlinked resources that’s key-word linked, so it’s easy to access anytime. There are 50 topics per year over a 2 year cycle, and you can also review archived topics from last year. The scheduled topics for the year will be posted on the blog sidebar.

SharePoint Troubleshooting

  • Anyone at Seattle Children’s can access these shared folders to download or contribute documents.
  • Use your Seattle Children’s email address and password to log in to the SharePoint site.
  • You do NOT need to be on Citrix when accessing the SharePoint site remotely.
  • When accessing SharePoint on Citrix or VDI, use Chrome or Firefox for best performance.
  • If you have a Seattle Children’s login but are unable to log in to the SharePoint site, place a ServiceNow ticket with Seattle Children’s IS to request “Office 365” access.
  • Those without a Seattle Children’s login may be granted access by making a request with the residency program staff. Include your UW NetID in the request if you have one.
