Leadership is accessible to anyone who has passion and purpose to change the way things are. The difference of being a leader is that you take the first step, you take on the journey…” -­‐-­‐ The Truth About Leadership –James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner Happy New Year! The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is filled with over 60, 000+ voices for children. The AAP is divided into 10 districts— as shown on the map we are in District III (trainees in PA, NJ, MD, DE, WV and DC). One part of the AAP is SOMSRFT (aka the club for med students, residents and fellows). District III has 33 residency programs, each with at least one SOMSRFT resident representative (or ‘delegate’), numerous medical schools, and fellowships programs. Although we are each at a different part in our medical education journey, everyone is a leader because you contribute to making this world a better place. We remain inspired by the innovative and dedicated work happening in District III. The examples in this newsletter highlight what differences medical student, residents, and fellows are making to improve the lives of children. Over the next year we hope to connect better, increase information sharing, and help one another amplify our messages—whatever the message may be. We look forward to continuing to PAVE the way to firearm injury prevention, to further developing leadership skills, and to cultivating member engagement in AAP SOMSRFT District III this year. Remember: You do make a difference; so, what difference will you make?

More than a dozen residents, across four years of training, have identified themselves as champions of this initiative and have chosen to take leadership roles in several projects that represent ongoing collaboration between ROR and CHOP. Our residents have enhanced our existing patient family education materials on early childhood literacy for use in our primary care clinics; are in the process of developing multimedia materials to model techniques for parents to use in reading with their children; established or strengthened connections with the Philadelphia Free Library and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania; and we are working to update our electronic medical record system to enhance screening for child literacy development, parent literacy needs and improved counseling techniques. We capped off the year with an enormously successful book drive that challenged departments across the hospital network to compete with each other to collect needed books. This book drive secured more than 2,300 new books for distribution at primary care sites through the ROR program! We look forward to coordinating annual book drives in years to come, and seeing how several of our other projects will bear fruit in the near future. 2. P.A.V.E.: This year’s advocacy initiative was introduced to the residency program at a special noon conference given by delegates Danielle Walters and Chris Renjilian in late November. From the reactions and shared discussion that took place at this noon conference, it is clear that CHOP residents and faculty alike are invested and ready to move on this issue. We look forward to building a team of residents and faculty who want to take leadership roles in this initiative. We have begun the process of collaborating with our own Department of Government Affairs to coordinate a letter-­writing campaign to legislators early this year. Beginning this month, we will also be delivering messages to the program on the 7th of each month to continue to build awareness among residents. 3. AAP and Legislative Engagement: -­-­ CHOP senior residents Kumar Senthil and Tara Wedin blazed the way for residents to contact their federal legislators during the recent government shutdown to emphasize the importance of continuing federal programs such as WIC and Early Head Start, and making it clear to constituents that the doors of these programs were still open. Residents from all years of training joined the campaign. -­-­ CHOP intern Sarah Catalano authored a resolution to support state legislation that regulates minors’ use of indoor tanning salons. This resolution made it through the voting process at the NCE, and we hope it will make it through ALF later this year. Sarah has also initiated a letter-­
writing campaign to state legislators over the past several weeks. 10 Sonia Varma on “Shared Medical Appointments: A New and Successful Strategy in Pediatrics” By: Sonia Varma, MD PGY-­2 Pediatrics Atlantic Health System http://www.atlantichealth.org/goryeb Shared medical appointments have been successful in adult populations suffering from chronic medical conditions including diabetes and cancer. Despite its longstanding utility in medicine, this method of interdisciplinary health care delivery has been seldom implemented among pediatric patients. At the continuity clinic of Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, NJ, clinic director Dr. Donald Hoelzel has introduced a unique version of this concept, called the Family Coaching & Guidance program. This program has been implemented for overweight and obese children. Two age-­‐dependent groups of patients meet monthly to share their progress, highlighting successes and failures with weight management. Patients in the groups understand and agree to share personal health information with each other. They understand the private matter of the information being shared and certify to keep the discussed material within the group. This experience allows others to learn from individual experiences, adopt new techniques and offer peer support. The children also meet with nurses, social workers, residents and various guest facilitators including nutritionists, behavioral therapists, sports and fitness experts, all to introduce new health and lifestyle concepts and optimize self-­‐management skills. It is fascinating to witness the incredible insight that our patients develop into the relationship between their mind, body, and food choices. As we celebrate the 1-­‐year anniversary of Family Coaching & Guidance, we look forward to presenting our data showing the significant improvements in BMI, blood pressure, self-­‐image and other parameters in our group members, as markers of their dedication and compliance. Shared medical appointments have the advantage of delivering interdisciplinary health care to a larger population of patients in a short period of time, as well as allowing patients to help and inspire each other towards achieving common goals. Although we are currently directing our group forums toward obesity, this format would be highly successful in pediatric asthma and diabetes populations, which would be our next target groups. I hope that this concept of medical visits will catch on among other residency programs and I look forward to reading about such successes.

According to the Department of Justice of the state of California, human trafficking and arms trafficking are two of the world’s most profitable illegal trades, just behind drug trafficking. And they’re growing. Despite the increased media attention allotted both to school shootings and survivors of child sex trafficking, human trafficking remains the fastest growing illegal industry in the world – a $32 billion per year industry.1 The same gangs that move drugs and guns also move people… right here in the United States. Illegally trafficked guns are more likely to be used in violent acts, including those that victimize women and children.2 Photo from the Boston Globe at www.boston.com In Maryland in May of 2013, a New York pimp was convicted of holding girls and women as young as 19-­‐years-­‐old against their will at gun point, physically and sexually abusing them, and forcing them to engage in sexual prostitution.3 In Boston, when Congress did nothing to provide stricter gun legislation after the shootings at Newtown, CT, a group of activists founded Operation LIPSTICK, which stands for “Ladies Involved in Putting a STop to Inner City Killings.” Pimps often force commercially sexually exploited girls to engage in the risky business of buying and selling illegal guns. LIPSTICK educates young women about the dangers and consequences of running these transactions.4 An estimated 100,000 U.S. children are traded for sex each year.5 Children as young as seven years old are being trafficked. Ten percent of U.S. children living in shelters and 28% of U.S. children living on the streets report exchanging sex for drugs or money.6 Technology increasingly is being used to propagate trafficking and lure “customers”, as evidenced by the thousands of Backpage ads of girls for sale.7 A multitude of medical problems accompany the abused and domestically trafficked child, and trafficked children often suffer from both physical as well as psychological trauma. Many are victims of gun violence. Frequently, time to access healthcare is delayed, so diseases and conditions present in advanced and critical stages.8-­‐12 Many physicians believe that they have never seen these child victims. A recent study, however, found that 28% of European trafficking victims had seen a healthcare professional while still in captivity.13 Even when health professionals acknowledged that trafficked victims appeared in their emergency departments, most health care providers lacked confidence that they would be able to identify these victims, and almost all had received no 12 training in recognizing these victims.14 No data exist regarding the beliefs, knowledge, or training of primary care doctors such as pediatricians regarding trafficked children. There also are few data about training programs for medical students and physicians regarding caring for these patients. Our preliminary survey data (Titchen, Chin, Sharif unpublished data, 2013) show that among medical students, residents, and physicians: ! approximately 80% agree that it is important to know about human trafficking. ! fewer than 16% correctly estimate the number of trafficked youth in the U.S. and understand the scope of the problem ! only 40% of practicing physicians, 20% of residents, and 10% of medical students know who to call if they encounter a trafficked child. In keeping children safe from gun violence, we must not forget some of our most vulnerable and abused children – those who are victims of child sex trafficking. We must increase physician awareness and training to aid in preventing human trafficking through the physician-­‐patient relationship, through patient education, and through political and community advocacy. Physicians properly trained will be frontline responders for child sex trafficking victims and are in a unique position to provide needed care and resources. References 1.
