Workshop on Perinatal Practice Strategies
Scottsdale, AZ (April 9-11, 2010)
Originally conceived and planned in 1988 by the late Joe Butterfield, this meeting is designed to help neonatologists in all types of practices learn skills necessary to "get the job done," as opposed to more traditional meetings designed to discuss treatment strategies, use of medications, and so on - or how to "do the job". Sponsored by the AAP Section on Perinatal Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatrics and taking place at the beautiful DoubleTree Paradise Valley Resort.

to Prevent Prematurity

The Symposium explored that state of quality initiatives to births that are not inevitable or medically necessary.
Symposium provided by the Clinical Directors Network »ABP Explains Maintenance of Certification
In the past, medical specialists and subspecialists focused on Board certification. The new standard, however, is Maintenance of Certification (MOC), of which Board certification is just one of four parts. The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) has created a new presentation to demystify MOC and to detail how MOC will change in 2010.
