Overview
Today’s pediatric healthcare landscape is marked by acuity, complexity, and unprecedented family need. Accordingly, there has never been a more important time for evidence-based practice models in pediatric social work. Studies across pediatric and adult settings have shown that social work is not just a “supporting” discipline in healthcare, but an essential field for strengthening patient trust, reducing readmissions and poor outcomes, and driving high quality care across populations.
In service to that aim, Boston Children’s is hosting its first ever conference built by social workers for social workers, rooted in evidence, driven by outcomes and grounded in the lives of those we serve: children and families. Together, we will affirm our shared commitment to changing lives through translated research and actionable strategies to elevate care in your setting. Whether you are a student, a healthcare provider, social worker or healthcare leader, this conference will offer you a chance to sharpen your research and leadership acumen and push the field forward into new frontiers.
Course Format
This course will be held in person at the Landmark Center, 401 Park Drive in Boston, MA.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this educational program, learners will be able to:
- Identify areas of leadership for social workers within the pediatric hospital setting, including clinical and macro opportunities (clinical practice, program development, research, quality improvement).
- Define social work competencies specific to collaborative interdisciplinary medical teams and hospital settings.
- Describe strategies for optimizing research and innovation in social work practice in a pediatric healthcare setting.
- Advocate for the unique contributions of social work roles in all areas of pediatric healthcare.
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.
