Forward2nd Annual Jason French Pediatric Hospital Medicine Virtual Symposium
The Jason French Pediatric Hospital Medicine Symposium commemorates the life and service 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.
Target Audience
This conference is designed for all health care professionals who participate in the care and management of hospitalized children and neonates.
Learning Objectives
- Diagnose and manage acute neurologic changes such as weakness, ataxia, and change in consciousness.
- Recognize the benefits of a dedicated multidisciplinary team who care for patients admitted for behavioral health needs.
- Describe proven strategies to help improve the care of behavioral health patients which may help your own institution.
- Describe two possible mechanisms by which fomepizole may help mitigate acetaminophen toxicity.
- Recognize clinical scenarios in which standard N-acetylcysteine dosing may be insufficient.
- Summarize the latest testing and treatment guidelines for COVID-19 in children.
- Review medical issues that are more common in newly arriving immigrants/refugees and the importance of screening for these conditions.
- Discuss the various differentials when common presenting symptoms lead to diagnosis of uncommon conditions in the pediatric inpatient setting.
Learner Outcome
After attending this event, the participant will report an increase in knowledge related to the hospitalized pediatric and neonatal patient and increase confidence caring for the pediatric patient population in the rural hospital setting.
