Sessions
Week 1 – Pediatric Primary Care
September 1, 2026
An essential foundation for pediatric primary care covering health, growth, and development from birth through adolescence as well as immunization recommendations and genetic evaluations. Understanding basic physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development as well as standard milestones and early disease prevention across the pediatric spectrum ensures comprehensive and effective care for specialized pediatric health concerns.
Week 2 – Neurological and Toxicologic Issues and Disorders
September 8, 2026
An examination of pediatric neurological conditions and toxicological emergencies, discussing trauma, seizures, and common toxic agents. Review identification and management strategies for various neurological disorders, including hypotonia and encephalopathy, and evaluate clinical concepts for complex conditions such as cerebral palsy and neurofibromatosis. Explore detailed clinical assessments for specific pediatric toxicologic exposures, including caustic household products and other common toxidromes, as well as cardiac and psychotropic medications, alongside critical management strategies and recommended antidotes for each.
Week 3 – Gastrointestinal, Renal, and Genitourinary Issues and Disorders
September 15, 2026
An overview of acute and emergent pediatric gastrointestinal, renal, and genitourinary disorders, discussing the treatment and management of obstructions, congenital abnormalities, kidney injuries, and urinary infections. This session equips advanced practice clinicians to evaluate and manage conditions such as neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, acute liver failure, volvulus, and Hirschsprung disease. Additional guidelines aid in the differentiation between prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal failure, and discuss the identification and management of complex metabolic conditions, nephrotic syndrome, nephritis, and reproductive emergencies like testicular or ovarian torsion.
Week 4 – Respiratory Issues and Disorders and Shock States
September 22, 2026
An exploration of pediatric respiratory disorders and shock states, covering lower respiratory infections, types and stages of shock, sepsis, and mechanical support. Useful guidelines cover acute and emergent respiratory conditions such as air leak syndromes, infectious diseases, status asthmaticus, and airway failure disorders, as well as mechanical and noninvasive ventilation and chest X-ray diagnostic interpretation. This session covers sepsis and shock state diagnostic and screening protocols, such as the traditional SIRS criteria and the updated Phoenix criteria. Management strategies for hypovolemic, distributive, cardiogenic, and obstructive shock states, as well as guidance in the use of supportive interventions like ECMO, are also discussed.
Week 5 – Cardiovascular Disorders, Sedation, and Analgesia
September 29, 2026
A comprehensive guide covering pediatric cardiovascular disorders, sedation, and analgesia, discussing cardiac malformations and acquired heart diseases, alongside pain management, sedation agents, and withdrawal. Review methods to evaluate and interpret electrocardiograms and to identify appropriate management and treatment strategies for arrhythmias, post-operative complications, and acute pulmonary hypertension. This session also delivers a closer look at the dosing and side effects of key medications used in procedural sedation, covering the different types of delirium that may occur post-sedation, in addition to tools like the Mallampati Airway Classification.
Week 6 – Infectious Diseases, Fluids, Electrolytes, and Nutritional Issues and Disorders
October 6, 2026
A thorough examination of pediatric infectious diseases, fluids, electrolytes, and nutritional disorders, covering common pathogens alongside the management of dehydration, electrolyte derangements, and metabolic disturbances. This session aids nurse practitioners in understanding empiric therapies for infections and identifying the pathogens affecting different body systems, while assisting in the navigation of specific infections like meningococcemia and enterovirus, as well as toxic shock syndrome and tuberculosis. It also discusses the Holliday-Segar method, homeostatic values, and special conditions for sodium imbalance to assist nurse practitioners in executing clinical calculations needed to treat severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and implement nutritional support for conditions such as refeeding syndrome.
Week 7 – Oncologic and Hematological Issues and Disorders
October 13, 2026
An in-depth discussion of pediatric oncological and hematological disorders, covering malignancies, oncologic emergencies, common and acute anemias, and sickle cell disease alongside blood transfusion guidelines. Explore diagnostic and management protocols for leukemia, lymphomas, and neuroblastoma, as well as strategies to address life-threatening emergencies like tumor lysis syndrome, alongside the risks and benefits of stem cell and bone marrow transplants. This session also covers essential identification and management strategies for acute chest syndrome, thalassemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and vaso-occlusive crisis, alongside assessments for deep vein thrombosis and severe blood transfusion-associated lung and circulatory complications.
Week 8 – Endocrine Issues and Disorders, Child Maltreatment Conditions, and Trauma and Burn Injuries
October 20, 2026
An exploratory review of pediatric endocrine disorders, child maltreatment indicators, and traumatic injuries, covering hormonal imbalances, non-accidental injury documentation, and organ and bodily trauma. Helpful endocrine guidelines aid in the assessment and treatment of Cushing’s syndrome and Addison’s disease, thyroid-related disorders, diabetic ketoacidosis, and the key differences between diabetes insipidus, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, and cerebral salt wasting syndrome. Red flags of child maltreatment are also discussed, detailing the identification of sentinel markers of abuse and the evaluation of patient history and exam findings to provide clear guidance on documentation, caregiver communication, and patient protection. Additional tools for pediatric trauma care examine APSA guidelines and Salter-Harris classification for organ and limb trauma, as well as the Parkland fluid resuscitation formula and American Burn Association criteria for burn-related trauma, and steps to prevent and manage submersion injuries.
