Session time:
Every 2nd, 4th, and 5th Thursday
12pm-1pm MST
University of Utah Health is pleased to announce the new Safe and Healthy Families ECHO. This twice monthly series brings experts in child physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, child welfare, and ethics together to present on a diversity of topics of interest to those who work with potentially abused children. Topics will be of interest to healthcare providers who care for children (pediatricians, family medicine, child and adolescent psychiatry, nurse practitioners and physician assistants), social workers, mental health providers, child welfare workers and administrators, and lawyers. Learners in these disciplines are invited and encouraged to attend and participate to create a multidisciplinary learning community.
Sessions are held on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month with bonus ethics sessions on the fifth Thursdays of the month.
Past sessions have included cutaneous mimics of child abuse (pediatric dermatology), genital trauma and unusual mimics (pediatric gynecology), legal challenges in cases of suspected child abuse (law), child abuse prevention in institutional settings (quality improvement and policy), multidisciplinary care for children after abusive head trauma (pediatric rehabilitation and physical medicine), chronic pain and medical overutilization, and advances in care coordination for children in foster care.
CME is available for participants in the live sessions. Some sessions will be recorded for later viewing based on topic and presenter preferences.
