Description

Overview

Pediatric care is changing and improving all the time and it can be difficult for healthcare providers to stay on top of the newest practices, treatments, and approaches. Professionals are challenged to stay current in the innovations and advances that can lead to better outcomes and improve the quality of care for children, as well as the latest social challenges facing children. What’s more, it can be hard to find time to explore important issues such as medical ethics, office practice, medical home and well care.

Course Format 

This virtual course provides clinicians with the latest updates and innovations in pediatric healthcare in order to improve patient care and outcomes. The course is formatted to engage learners through lectures, opportunities for application and reflection, and Q&A sessions and to equip participants with the necessary tools to apply their findings in practice.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to: 

1. Incorporate into practice recent updates in basic science and clinical advances in pediatrics.
2. Determine the bench-to-bedside applications of recent scientific advances in the clinical care of children.
3. Assess the added value of new diagnostic and screening tests.

In support of improving patient care, Boston Children’s Hospital is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
