Conference Description:

This Annual Conference is designed to provide physicians, nurse practitioners, PAs, nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of children with up-to-date and evidence-based clinical data in pediatrics. The goal of this conference is to increase knowledge and enhance the competence of attendees. Emphasis will be placed on practical application of the evidence-based topics presented.

The conference format will include didactic lectures, smaller group breakout, and interactive sessions, case studies, and question and answer sessions.

An outstanding faculty has been assembled for this conference. Each member was selected based on their individual area of expertise and ability to communicate current, evidence-based, and practical information to participants.
