Conference Course Description:
Pediatric Hospital Medicine continues to present challenges to pediatricians, nurse practitioners, residents, nurses and all other providers caring for children. The program includes a variety of evidence-based lectures with question and answer sessions, hands-on workshops and an unknown Clinicopathological Conference (CPC) case from the New England Journal of Medicine. The conference is geared towards presenting recent advances and challenges in Pediatric Hospital Medicine in preparation for the boards as well as discussing cutting-edge new projects. Thirteen different sites from across the six New England states have collaborated to bring this conference to you. This will be a great opportunity for you to connect with your peers from across New England.
The program includes 8 lectures, one keynote address, one clinicopathological conference and 8 workshops, all in one day:
Lecture titles:
- Complex Care Across the Continuum
- An evidence-based approach to Bronchiolitis

Clinicopathological Conference; An unknown case from the Massachussetts General Hospital and the New England Journal of Medicine:
- The interdisciplinary CPCs are teaching exercises focused on clinical reasoning (how to “think like a physician”) and clinicopathological correlation. In the classical unknown differential diagnosis CPC format, a master clinician is asked to deduce the diagnosis of an anonymous, actual MGH patient based solely on the reported medical history, physical examination findings, and preliminary test results. The discussant ends his presentation by stating what she thinks the diagnosis most likely turned out to be and how she thinks that diagnosis was established; then, the confirmed diagnosis is presented, usually by an anatomic or clinical pathologist, and issues related to management are discussed.
Workshop titles:
- Sleeping Safely: Interdisciplinary Collaboration to Improve Safe Sleep
- Defining and Assessing Clinical Competence for the Pediatric Hospitalist
- Ethical Dilemmas in Pediatric Hospital Medicine
- Pediatric Dental Review and Training for the Pediatric Hospitalist
- Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal: Troubleshooting Challenging Cases with the ESC Care Tool
- Coaching for Hospitalists
- Gender Parity in Pediatric Hospital Medicine
- The Clinical Learning Environment: Reframing communication & improving culture
