The field of Delivery Room Resuscitation is rapidly advancing. This conference will feature the patient-oriented research and clinical updates on topics related to delivery room management of newborns with anomalies, including methods to optimize team performance. The objective of this conference is to enhance audience understanding of delivery room management of newborns with congenital anomalies, and to apply the latest information to their clinical practices. 

Now in its fourth year, this hands-on, interactive training provides researchers with the sensitivity, skills and knowledge to better recruit and engage children, youth or families who prefer a language other than English in health research. Hosted by PolicyLab faculty and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) team members, the Short Course on MARS features in-person sessions comprising of lectures, case studies, small group work and consultations. It is  tailored to graduate, postdoctoral, early career and senior investigators, and will support career development for multilingual investigators from underrepresented backgrounds by providing training to leverage language skills for multilingual research and grant-seeking. 

Join the Richard D. Wood Jr. Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment's team of Maternal Fetal Medicine practitioners as they share information on diagnoses seen in the Center. This virtual, interactive CE lecture series is to update care providers on the latest advances in fetal diagnostic criteria and optimal management to enhance their skills in prenatal diagnosis, counseling and treatment.

This course is intended as an alternative to adult point-of-care ultrasound courses, with a focus on pediatric indications.

Deciphering Beckwith-Wiedemann Spectrum will provide updates on current diagnostic and clinical management information and the latest research findings on the condition. Conference attendees will be educated on the vast spectrum of presenting clinical features, current clinical management practices, and common medical procedures. Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia will be joined by collaborators from around the world to present ongoing research topics.

Join us at the Lymphatic System Learning Conference, where healthcare professionals from various disciplines gather to deepen their understanding of the body's often overlooked but crucial lymphatic system. Through engaging presentations, interactive workshops and collaborative discussions, participants will explore the anatomy, physiology, disorders and treatment modalities related to the lymphatic system. From cutting-edge research to practical hands-on techniques, attendees will gain valuable insights and skills to enhance patient care and improve outcomes.

Healthcare professionals face stress and challenges in their daily work and often lack the space and time to voice their experiences, connect with colleagues and find meaning in their work. This activity aims to provide an opportunity to all those who deliver healthcare to learn and practice narrative skills through writing, reflection, observation and listening. It will help participants build empathy, self-awareness and connection with colleagues. The conference will include a keynote address, followed by breakout sessions.
