Enhancing Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Education Through Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning Sessions for Fellows and Advanced Practice Providers

Introduction: Pediatric fellows and advanced practice providers face challenges in acquiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) management skills due to low patient volume, high-risk cases, and lack of standardized training guidelines. We sought to develop case-based ECMO education sessions using the Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) format and evaluate their impact on participants. Methods: ) to assess participants' confidence in managing ECMO patients. Comparative analysis was performed on data from participants who completed both surveys. Results: that the content of both sessions was relevant and appropriate to their level of training. Discussion: POGIL could serve as an effective method to address advanced practice provider and fellow knowledge gaps and increase understanding of how to approach challenges for patients receiving ECMO.
