Introduction: Through the Pediatric Evening Lecture Series, Connecticut Children’s Department of Continuing Medical Education offers educational programs dealing with a wide spectrum of medical topics of interest to the medical community.

Needs Assessment: Topic selection is based on needs identified through hospital admission and referral patterns, clinical guidelines developed by specialty organizations, licensing and certification criteria, input from Connecticut Children’s sub-specialists, and feedback from the practicing community. The Office of Continuing Medical Education plans evidence-based, CME activities that enhance physician competence and performance, improve patient outcomes, and better equip physicians and other health care providers to practice in a changing healthcare environment. The Pediatric Evening Lecture Series strives to present a practical and evidence-based approach to common pediatric topics that impact primary care practitioners.

Target Audience: This activity is designed for pediatricians, family practitioners, pediatric advanced-practice nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Registered nurses and school nurses also may find the information valuable.

Format: Lecture, panel discussion, Q&A

Accreditation: These activities have been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) by Connecticut Children’s.

Introduction: This lecture series is supported by the Dr. Paul A. “Tony” Andrulonis Memorial Fund for Child and Adolescent Mental Health. We are pleased to be able to present this lecture series as part of Tony’s legacy - a reminder of his dedication to excellence and education in child psychiatry and mental health.

Needs Assessment: Using a variety of needs assessment tools, including: surveys of the target audience, Connecticut Children’s admissions data, state and local data, approved standards of care, licensing and certification criteria, and input from Connecticut Children’s sub-specialists, the Office of Continuing Medical Education plans evidence-based CME activities that enhance the competence and performance of health care providers, improve patient outcomes, and better equip physicians to practice in a changing healthcare environment. With increasing frequency, primary care pediatric practitioners are required to diagnose and manage a variety of mental health issues. The Andrulonis Child Mental Health Evening Lecture Series is structured to improve the skill sets required to meet this challenge.

Target Audience: This activity is designed for pediatricians, family practitioners, psychiatrists, pediatric advanced-practice nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Child and adolescent psychologists, registered nurses, school nurses and school social workers also may find the information valuable.
