Sepsis in the Pediatric Primary Care Setting: Early Recognition and Action!

Build readiness, coordination and clinical skills your community's children deserve!
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) invites pediatric primary care providers from primary care, school health, and community settings to strengthen skills that matter most when every minute counts.

This ECHO series will be held once on January 22, 2026 at 11am CT / 12 PM ET —and will continue with bi-monthly sessions from February 2026 through March 2026, all scheduled for 11am CT / 12 PM ET. To learn more, view the flyer here.
