Forward2018 Pediatric Spring Conference
Join Aurora Childern's Health for a half-day course focused on the latest updates in children’s health. We’ll cover topics such as hypertension, voiding and daytime wetness, and behavioral health.
The course will also feature a special PATCH (Providers and Teens Communicating for Health) for Provider's Workshop. In this 90-minute workshop, PATCH Teen Educators share their authentic insights into the concerns, preferences, and realities of today's youth in health care settings. Participants are asked to reflect on their own policies and practice and are challenged to consider ways in which they could be more "youth-friendly". Health care providers from a variety of fields are encouraged to attend and participate in this workshop.
Target Audience

- Pediatric Primary Care and Specialty Care Physicians and APPs

At the end of the lectures, participants will be able to:
