ONLINE - INTERACTIVE WEBINAR

What Makes this Course Stand Out

The course schedule has been updated to provide virtual, interactive small group simulations and an ECG workshop session.

  • World class speakers and small group facilitators
  • Focus on bridging the gap between community pediatrics and the pediatric emergency department
  • Special lectures on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children
  • Virtual, interactive small group simulations and an ECG workshop session (broadcast live from the UCSF Kanbar Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills)
  • No pharma industry funding

Overview

Pediatric urgencies and emergencies are not uncommon presentations in outpatient clinical settings.  These cases can pose dilemmas for both treatment and the need for possible referral.  This virtual course will help to prepare pediatricians, family medicine physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses and other outpatient providers who care for children to provide evidence-based and efficient care when these situations arise.  It will also identify cases that require referral to the emergency department.

The course will include virtual simulations designed to address pediatric emergencies commonly encountered in outpatient settings.

Topics will include COVID/MIS-C, appendicitis, chest pain, fever, diabetic ketoacidosis updates, and healthcare disparities and how they affect outcomes. We will describe how our work to partner with primary care providers to address patients’ needs can help to bridge the gap between the clinic and our emergency department.

Objectives

The objectives of this conference are to understand pediatric emergencies that present in the office setting and discuss treatment guidelines and recommendations for referral.

This course will review and demonstrate effective treatment/triage for common ingestions, ophthalmologic and oral emergencies, and other urgent conditions that are seen in outpatient settings. In addition, there will be a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, child maltreatment, and small-group simulations
