Collaborating with Schools in Pediatric Primary Care
Audience
Pediatric primary care providers: Pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants
Description
Primary Care Providers commonly need to work with schools to meet the needs of their patients, however more than 40% of providers report frequent challenges when doing so. This course equips primary care providers with the knowledge and skills to collaborate with school personnel and families to support the mental health and educational needs of their patients.
This course has two components:
- A dynamic full-day workshop focused on building knowledge, skills, and confidence to partner with educators, through case vignettes and small-group practice.
- Four case-based group learning calls over two months in which participants present cases from their practice to solidify their learning and put it into practice. Each call lasts one hour.
Participants can earn up to 10.25 CME credits for both components.
Course Goals
In this course, participants will learn to:
- Develop skill and comfort mediating conflicts between schools and families and helping supporting families to navigate special educational topics such as 504 Accommodation Plan, Individualized Educational Program (IEP), school options
- Empower families with effective strategies to address absenteeism, school suspensions, and school refusal
- Support families in navigating school disciplinary practices
- Establish relationships with school personnel
- Use effective billing and coding strategies for school-related clinical work
- …and more.
