    NRP Hospital-Based Instructor Course – 1½-day course

Instructor-trainees will learn to guide NRP students through acquisition of resuscitation skills; learn to create and conduct scenarios using tactile, visual and auditory cues; and conduct effective debriefings. The course also covers the administrative tasks within the NRP instructor's role.

    33rd Annual Duncan Seminar – Adulthood Here We Come: Smoothing the Healthcare Transition for Kids with Disabilities

    Details

    33rd Annual Duncan Seminar – Adulthood Here We Come: Smoothing the Healthcare Transition for Kids with Disabilities

    Children with developmental disabilities and their families need adequate skills and knowledge to make a successful healthcare transition into adult care. Less than 50% of families nationwide indicate that their children and youth with special healthcare needs have received the services necessary to make appropriate transitions to adult healthcare, work and independence. Limited resources and gaps in health professions training are perceived as barriers to successful transition. This conference provides a forum to address these issues for the state of Washington. Topics will include the political climate; issues around family and professional "letting go"; getting to self-management; point-counterpoint discussion regarding best practices in both the pediatric and adult care systems; and lessons learned.

    Eighth Annual Pediatric Bioethics Conference: “The Thin Ethical Line: When Professional Boundaries and Personal Interests Collide”

    • Should a healthcare provider perform procedures on or prescribe medications to a family member?
    • Is "firing" a patient an appropriate response to parents who refuse to vaccinate their children?
    • Is it ever OK for a healthcare provider to lie on behalf of their patient?
