Join Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia experts for a webinar series about the role of the pediatric psychologist in innovative interdisciplinary collaboration.

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.

This two-and-a-half-day conference is intended for providers who currently care for children with medical complexity (CMC) or who are interested in learning to care for this population. This one-of-a-kind program offers an array of didactic and interactive sessions that will cover key complex care content areas, including review of current diagnostic and management strategies, care of children with medical technology use, and innovations in research, medical education, patient advocacy and models of care. Through learning, sharing, and networking, the goals of this educational conference are to give our collaborative community the tools necessary to best care for CMC and support their families.

This course is designed to recreate realistic and challenging cases, such as insufficient oxygen levels in the blood, difficult airway management, emergency blood pressure issues or cardiac events. To improve clinical practice and patient outcomes, the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia follows the guidelines from the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) and other related associations on patient safety. This live, instructor-led, advanced simulation course will provide a safe environment to learn about new techniques or drugs and offer participants experience in crisis management, patient safety and professional teamwork that can be difficult to teach in the active operating room arena.

This first-annual, one-day symposium for echo sonographers will provide a unique learning experience. Join us for lectures by top pediatric cardiologists and experienced sonographers, “bedside” breakout sessions with an emphasis on talking through the thought process and techniques while scanning congenital heart disease, a glimpse into high-level 3-D imaging and its use in surgical planning, a hands-on session involving pediatric heart specimens, and a fun and interactive quiz game.

This interactive day-long workshop offers participants the opportunity to work with a community of scholars to deepen their understanding of qualitative research methods. Through a combination of didactic presentations from expert qualitative researchers and through small-group activities, participants will be able to work with more advanced approaches to generating and analyzing qualitative data, applying what they have learned both to cases and their own research. Reflexivity is critical in ensuring the rigor and trustworthiness of qualitative research. This workshop aims to address the gap in understanding of, and practical guidance for reflexivity by both (re)examining the role of reflexivity in health professions education research and providing concrete strategies to improve reflexive practices.

This conference will bring together child health experts from around the world to explore strengths-based approaches to address current and emerging threats to child and adolescent health and wellbeing.

The curriculum consists of nine modules specific to care of children facing life-threatening illness and their families. The principal goal of the training program is to provide pediatric healthcare providers with information on pediatric palliative and hospice care and resources to integrate this content into their clinical education. Course content will be presented in several participatory formats including lecture, open forum discussion, small group activities, and training sessions.
