Abstract

Training of clinicians is critical to the delivery of high-quality family-centered care. In this chapter, we highlight several educational opportunities to promote family-centered care that are present within the training environment. First we review studies that support the use of directed educational programs intended to promote family-centered care, describe different types of educational programs that have been used, and highlight with key features that educational programs should include. Second, we consider the impact of the care environments in which we practice and train providers with a focus on the factors that come together to form the culture and the hidden curriculum which shape aspects of training and patient care. Third, we explore the importance of self-care and programs that incorporate provider wellness into training, highlighting domains of wellness and potential opportunities for trainees to engage in self-care. We review ICU- and hospital-level programs that have been used to promote self-care and wellness. Finally, we present recent guidelines that are relevant to clinician training and discuss opportunities to improve the evidence base regarding training providers in family-centered care.
