From the very start, the School of San Francisco had close to one thousand students. Some were the children of the Spanish conquerors, but most were sons of Indian nobles. They received elementary instruction in religion and in the rudiments of learning. Later on came Latin and music. Vocational classes for adults, organized after a few years, turned out excellent artists and craftsmen, sculptors and stonecutters, painters and engravers, carpenters, tailors, shoemakers. A children’s hospital was operated in connection with the school.

At the meeting of the Child Development Section of the Academy of Pediatrics in October 1968, one of the physicians asked why medical schools and pediatric departments failed to prepare pediatricians for the private practice of their specialty. When I was chief of the department of Children's Hospital in San Francisco, two special exercises were introduced to remedy this deficiency. One of these was a weekly seminar in childhood ecology. It started in July of each year with discussion of fetology, perinatal problems, and the newborn; from there on we "grew up," as it were, with the child during the year, and by June we were discussing the adolescents.

Simulation Practice

The Code Simulation team at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Benioff Children’s Hospital-San Francisco is presenting a perspective on COVID-19 related simulation in a paediatric emergency department (PED) setting. The primary focus was personal protective equipment (PPE) usage in the setting of new latent safety threats in high-risk scenarios in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. We addressed communication challenges and trialled new workflows in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. The perspective details the objectives, themes and lessons learnt during this process. The simulation practice occurred multiple times over multiple days with an interpersonal, interdisciplinary and inclusive approach. The results of this work were implemented into practice in the PED at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital-San Francisco setting and influenced hospital-wide education on PPE usage during the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nuestro corresponsal biofarmacéutico en Madrid, España, el Dr. Alvaro Herrera, nos llama la atención sobre este fascinante intercambio de fecha, 09/09/2020, entre dos colosos de la medicina actual, el Dr. Eric Topol, médico cardiólogo y geneticista molecular, experto en medicina digital, del Scripps Translational Science Institute, en La Jolla, California, editor de Medscape, a quien ambos conocimos años atrás en San Francisco, California. Topol es un prolífico autor de centenares de artículos científicos, y varios libros de gran influencia sobre el impacto mundial de altas tecnologías médicas, como las aplicaciones de la inteligencia artificial, robótica, genómica, cardiología y biología molecular. El Dr. Topol, conocido por médicos venezolanos, entrevista a un gran pediatra y experto en vacunas como Paul Offit, co-inventor de la vacuna contra rotavirus, autor de varios libros y decenas de artículos de investigación, trabaja en la División de Enfermedades Infecciosas del Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

For the past 14 years a center for evaluating, counseling, and proper placement of children with handicaps has been conducted at Children's Hospital in San Francisco. This type of facility is as essential to the modern pediatric department as is the clinical laboratory. It can be organized in very much the same manner as the clinical laboratory. There should be a pediatrician in charge who is responsible for coordinating the paramedical services. The essential non-medical personnel are:

Abstract At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) we treat many children requiring tracheostomy tube placement. With potential for a tracheostomy tube to be in place for an extended period of time, these children may be at risk for long-term disruption to normal speech development. As such, speaking valves that restore more normal phonation are often key tools in the effort to restore speech and promote more typical language development in this population. However, successful use of speaking valves is frequently more challenging with infant and pediatric patients than with adult patients. The purpose of this article is to review background information related to speaking valves, the indications for one-way valve use, criteria for candidacy, and the benefits of using speaking valves in the pediatric population. This review will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration from the perspectives of speech-language pathology and respiratory therapy. Along with the background information, we will present current practices and a case study to illustrate a safe and systematic approach to speaking valve implementation based upon our experiences.
