Mini-CHAMP is a faculty development program that focuses on the core clinical issues in the care of
hospitalized aging medical patients. While CHAMP aims to teach the teacher, Mini-CHAMP teaches the clinician.
It extracts the essential elements from each CHAMP topic area and is streamlined so that it can be presented in a 2-day workshop, or in periodic teaching sessions. Like CHAMP, Mini-CHAMP content includes coverage of the ACGME
core competencies of Practice Based Learning and Improvement (PBLI) and Systems Based Practice (SBP).
Mini-CHAMP is designed for hospitalists and is currently in a pilot phase at the University of Chicago.
In its final form, Mini-CHAMP will combine online educational learning with in-person teaching sessions, and include
measures of knowledge, attitudes and self-assessment. All materials will be available under the content headings along the top of this webpage.
Mini-CHAMP slide presentations currently available include:
Identifying and Assessing the Frail Elderly
