Description: 

Pediatric medicine is a rapidly evolving field. In light of this there will often be a gap between physicians’ current knowledge on how to handle difficult cases and thus it will impact their competence and may adversely affect patient outcome. The goal of this pediatric Morbidity & Mortality conference is to close the gap between physicians' current knowledge with discussion of current pediatric conditions and treatments to generate discussions about how to manage patients and diseases so all physicians and healthcare professionals caring for the children in Sutter Children's Center have the most updated knowledge.

Target Audience: 

Nurse Practitioner (NP)

Nurse, Registered (RN)

Physicians (MD or DO)
