Inaugural Jason French Memorial Pediatric Hospital Medicine Symposium

October 1, 2021

The Jason French Memorial Pediatric Hospital Medicine Symposium is to commemorate the life of our colleague, Jason French, who tragically passed away in the summer of 2020.  Dr. French was a beloved member of the Section of Pediatric Hospital Medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado, and he served on the planning committee for this conference. Moving forward this conference will replace our "Clinical Concepts and Conundrums in Pediatric Hospital Medicine" symposium

This conference will focus on the care and management of hospitalized children and neonates. A case-based format will be used to review and discuss the etiology, diagnosis, and management of critically ill infants and children.
