How does it work?
Sessions are scheduled quarterly and typically take place on a Thursday from noon to 1 p.m.
Community clinicians can join this complimentary online program using a teleconferencing platform on their phone or personal computer. Participants receive education and practice-based learning by discussing real cases from their own practices. Each session includes a 30-minute presentation on a pediatric clinical guideline and 30 minutes dedicated to interactive case discussions.
How do clinicians benefit?
The PACES model provides longitudinal learning from a leading institution in education, research and pediatric care. Participants receive up-to-date, evidence-based training and knowledge exchange with a multidisciplinary team from UC Davis Children’s Hospital.
What will I learn?
Session topics include, but are not limited to, asthma, head trauma, bronchiolitis, diabetic ketoacidosis, sepsis and BRUE/ALTE. Each session focuses on caring for pediatric patients exhibiting these conditions.
