LIVE IN-PERSON ACTIVITY
Optimizing student health outcomes, improving school performance, boosting attendance, and promoting the overall well-being of school-aged children with medical complexities are essential student priorities. This initiative is designed to equip School Nurses and Childcare Health Consultants with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support children with special healthcare needs. Targeted education related of the top nine health conditions seen in school settings and take-home training kits will empower these healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality care and train/delegate to Unlicensed Assistive Personnel effectively to ensure that children with medical complexities can thrive in their educational environments.
Target Audience
The target audience for this activity are School Nurses and Childcare Health Consultants providing care to students in the school and childcare settings.
Learning Outcomes

Participants will report increased confidence in skills required to care for students with these common issues/conditions as well as training and delegating to UAPs. Participants will report at least one practice change they plan to make due to this education.
Additional Information
Upon completion of the activity, learners will describe and demonstrate evidence-based assessment, intervention, and emergency response strategies for managing common pediatric health conditions encountered in school and childcare settings, including the application of safe and competent clinical skills such as emergency response, medication administration, and delegated care during simulated skills stations.
