Overview
The Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Course is designed for physicians, nurse practitioners, residents [OB/GYN, pediatrics, and family practice], fellows [Reproductive Medicine, Adolescent Medicine] and other health professionals involved in the medical and surgical gynecologic care of girls, adolescents, and young adults.
The objective is to stimulate the health professional to become more knowledgeable about the diagnosis and management of a wide variety of gynecologic medical, surgical, and social problems and to become more proficient in providing office-based prevention services and counseling to pediatric and adolescent patients relating to gynecologic issues.
Course Format
This course will be fully digital and presented via Zoom. The dynamic learning format of the course has been optimized for the virtual classroom.
Presentations will be recorded and available on-demand for all paid attendees for one month after the conference.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be better able to:
- Review up-to-date research, guidelines and treatment options and develop strategies to implement in practice.
- Identify issues of equity and diversity that may impact clinical care.
- Identify and treat common gynecological issues in pediatric and adolescent patients.
- Assess and manage medically and psychosocially complicated cases.
- Identify quality improvement indicators in your practice setting and develop strategies to meet them.

Communication for informed consent is vital for patients, families, and providers. Yet, it is often inadequate, resulting in poorly aligned expectations for a surgery, procedure, or course of treatment. The pre-operative encounter represents a particular challenge for surgeons, who often have limited time to establish relationships and trust with patients and families. This can result in misaligned expectations between patients, families, and providers. Such mismatch can lead to frustration, anger, and potentially litigation. This course focuses on improving communication and relational skills during the informed consent process to better align provider and family expectations, with a specific focus on surgical informed consent.
This content was created by OPENPediatrics, a peer-reviewed medical education platform for healthcare professionals. Please see www.openpediatrics.org for more information.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this educational program, learners will be able to:
- Articulate patient, family and provider perspectives regarding the importance of enhanced communication around informed consent
- Explain the distinction between informed consent as a form to be completed and a process for aligning expectations
- Utilize strategies for aligning expectations to enhance the effectiveness of informed consent practices

Survival after in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest is only about 40%, and less than10% for out-of-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest. Thus, prevention of cardiac arrest is of paramount importance. This program reviews the clinical signs and symptoms of shock and respiratory failure–the two most common pathways by which children progress to cardiorespiratory failure and cardiac arrest–and describes how early recognition and intervention can help prevent these events and improve patient outcomes. The course is intended for physicians and nurses who are responsible for the care of sick infants and children.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this educational program, learners will be able to:
- Describe epidemiology of pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest
- Distinguish between respiratory distress and respiratory failure
- Classify types of shock (hypovolemic, distributive, and cardiogenic)
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.
