Series Description: 

Pediatric medicine is a rapidly evolving field. In light of this there will often be a gap between physicians’ current knowledge on how to handle difficult cases and thus it will impact their competence and may adversely affect patient outcome. The goal of this conference is to close the gap between physicians' current knowledge with discussion of current pediatric and pediatric intensive care journal articles to generate discussions about how to manage patients and diseases so all physicians and healthcare professionals caring for the children in Sutter Children's Center have the most updated knowledge.

Target Audience: 

Nurse Practitioner (NP)

Nurse, Registered (RN)

Physicians (MD or DO)

Physician Assistant (PA)

Students of Health Professions

Learning Objectives: 

• Describe a scientific research article pertaining to pediatric care that identifies care and treatment options for optimal treatment of complex and unusual pediatric illnesses.

• Discuss direct application of reviewed study results with pediatric sub specialists that pertain to our pediatric population which will increase knowledge.

• Address cultural, social, and implicit bias factors which affect pediatric patient care.
