Why attend?
Many clinicians and allied medical professionals do not feel adequately trained when in practice and yet they face these challenges with patients and families every day. The course offers practical approaches to these issues and we welcome participants from a broad array of disciplines including physicians, advance practice providers, nurses, social workers, and allied medical professionals who work in Pediatrics and the broader medical community.
This is your chance to enhance your knowledge and interact with colleagues in a two day seminar. Choose to attend in person or virtually. Recordings will be made available for 30 days to those who register for the meeting.  They will not be available to non-registered participants.

1st time attendee. One of the BEST conferences I’ve attended in my 20+ years of practice! I think I really appreciated this conference more as a seasoned pediatrician as it seems cutting edge, process improvement with real world examples and actionable ideas
This conference is an incredible resource with a lot to take back to the primary care setting.
Excellent conference with a depth and breadth of very applicable ideas and concepts in developmental/behavioral tips that I can use in my daily practice in general pediatrics.
This conference is always outstanding!
What a fantastic surprise this conference was! We got a grant and had to go to a conference or training addressing early childhood development and happened upon this conference. It has been wonderful! I hope to return in future years.
Excellent course. Topics were expertly and thoughtfully presented. The learning environment was warm accepting and effective.
