Clinical Shadowing
Nationwide Children's Hospital has an CFF-accredited, multidisciplinary CF clinic that serves ~550 patients with varying disease severity, including ~250 adult patients. Trainees are encouraged to participate in CF clinic as observers to learn about the different aspects of CF care from the multidisciplinary team that includes physicians, dietitians, respiratory therapists, and mental health coordinators. Trainees can expect to see ~5-6 patients per half/day clinic alongside a CF physician as well as shadowing dietitians, and other therapists.

Bench to Bedside Presentations
Bench to bedside (B2B) seminars pair basic science trainees with CF clinical fellows to ensure integration of both CF-relevant basic science research and CF clinical perspectives. These seminars provide a crucial link that helps basic science trainees to understand the health challenges faced by pwCF and clinical fellows to better understand advances in the potential translational impact of basic science research. This provides a strong bidirectional educational experience and training opportunity regarding CF for basic scientists and clinical trainees by encouraging and mentoring trainees to seek opportunities that underscore the understanding of current clinical needs and the design of clinically relevant laboratory projects with potential to impact patient care.
