Pediatric Focus at IDC 2018

NHPCO and the ChiPPS Leadership Advisory Council are excited to announce that there will be a pediatric preconference seminar at this year’s Interdisciplinary Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana! IDC will also include a pediatric concurrent session track.

The pediatric preconference seminar, Expert Interdisciplinary Care for the Developing Pediatric Team, will increase your competence and confidence in caring for pediatric patients of all ages and their families. Seasoned and accomplished faculty will lead you through case-based learning activities to increase your skills in providing expert interdisciplinary care, communicating effectively and facilitating decision-making, all while gathering clinical pearls to apply to your care of children and their families. From childhood development and its impact on symptom management, advance care planning, grief and loss to applicable regulatory requirements, the depth and breadth of this interactive workshop will educate, motivate and inspire you.

Learning Objectives:

·      Apply case-based learning activities to expert interdisciplinary care of children and their families

·      Improve communication and facilitation skills in working with pediatric families

·      Apply clinical pearls (creative medical, psychosocial, spiritual and bereavement approaches) to your care of children and their families

Participate in the pediatric preconference seminar on November 4, 2018; and stay for the main conference November 5-7, 2018 where there will be pediatric concurrent sessions throughout the three days. We look forward to learning and sharing with our pediatric hospice and palliative care providers!

“Come join us for an interactive day of learning and networking. It is a great opportunity to learn from and with others in the pediatric hospice and palliative care community. Every year, I am amazed by all the work my colleagues are doing every day to further the field of pediatric hospice and palliative care. The opportunity to share and learn from one another has been invaluable to me in my professional growth and development.”
