What is a QR Code 

QR codes (or Quick Response

into two dimensional squares 

that connect offline media to 

online content via a smartphone. Also 

known as mobile tagging, QR codes act like 

URL references on offline media and other 

flat surfaces.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Continuing Medical Education/Continuing 

Professional Development (CME/CPD) program develops, maintains, and improves the 

competence, skills, and professional performance of pediatricians and pediatric healthcare 

professionals by providing quality, relevant, accessible, and effective educational 

experiences that address gaps in professional practice. The National Conference & 

Exhibition strives to meet participants’ identified educational needs and support their 

lifelong learning with a goal of improving care for children and families. The AAP is 

committed to excellence and innovation in education. The AAP National Conference is 

the forum at which all pediatric professionals meet and interact for updates, review of 

pediatric practice, research, and advocacy. This conference provides a place for the AAP 

governance/ administration/organization to interact with its general membership. 

Instructional Objectives 

The instruction (learning experience) in this activity will 

1. Provide education in pediatric health care including the most current information related 

to illness and preventive healthcare of neonates, infants, children, adolescents, and 

young adults. 

2. Create a forum for discussion of current issues and problems in pediatric healthcare. 

3. Instruct attendees on procedures related to patient health management. 

4. Inform, enable and update practice management and policy. 

5. Support and train attendees in advocacy of issues related to child health. 

6. Address professional practice gaps of learners by linking needs with learning objectives 

and instruction. 

7. Match the educational content with the scope of practice of the learners and desirable 

physician attributes. 

Learner Objectives 

As a result of attending this activity, learners will be able to: 

1. Practice evidence-based, informed pediatric medicine. 

2. Apply current techniques and procedures. 

3. Advocate effectively for issues related to children’s health. 

4. Demonstrate change in competence, performance, or patient outcomes. 

Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest 

The AAP Policy on Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest is designed to ensure quality, 

objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous AAP CME activities. All individuals in a position to influence and/or control the 

content of AAP CME activities are required to disclose to the AAP and subsequently to learners that they either have no relevant 

financial relationships or any financial relationships with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) 

of commercial services discussed in CME activities. All potential conflicts of interest are identified and resolved prior to an 

individual’s confirmation of service at an AAP CME activity. Beyond disclosure of financial relationships, AAP CME faculty are 

required to disclose to the AAP and to learners when they plan to discuss or demonstrate pharmaceuticals and/or medical 

devices and/or medical or surgical procedures that involve “off-label” use of a device or pharmaceutical. The AAP is committed 

to providing learners with commercially unbiased CME activities. 

The content of this CME activity does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the AAP.

presentation explores the social and psychological experiences 

of people living with genetic, physical, cognitive and behavioral 

conditions of all ages and ethno-cultural heritages. Positive Exposure 

provides new opportunities to see individuals living with a genetic 

difference first and foremost as a human being with his/her own 

challenges rather than as a specific diagnosis/disease entity.

X1003 Management of Apparent Life 

Threatening Events 

➤➤ 

Repeats as X3009 

Convention Center, 28 AB 

Outpatient and inpatient providers face many 

tough decisions when managing the well-appearing 

infant who has recently experienced an apparent 

life-threatening event (ALTE). The circumstances 

in which the patient is most likely to benefit from 

diagnostic testing or hospitalization are muddled 

with a poor understanding of risk, heterogeneity 

of symptoms, and caregiver and provider anxiety. 

Consequently, ALTE management varies dramatically 

across the country. This session will summarize 

the current evidence on ALTEs, provide risk-based 

guidance for diagnosis and management, and 

update participants about the new guideline. 

Joel Tieder, MD, MPH, FAAP

F1040 Straight Shooting: The Epidemiology 

of Gun Violence, and What We Can Do 

About It 


Firearm-related injuries are a major source of 

morbidity and mortality for children, many related 

to unintentional etiologies. The past year has 

brought tragedy to communities across the country, 

as guns have been used in mass shootings. A 

number of legislative attempts have been made in 

the last year to limit health care providers’ ability 

to discuss safe use and storage of firearms with 

families. This session will provide attendees with 

background on the epidemiology of gun violence, 

legislative issues surrounding anticipatory guidance, 

and using interactive cases, provide an evidencebased 

best-practice approach to working with

F1072 Can You Navigate the Maze of 

Maternal Medications and Breastfeeding 


Data have shown that pediatricians often recommend 

erroneously or inappropriately that a mother 

stop breastfeeding when she is taking certain 

medications. They report being not up-to-date on 

information about certain medications and their 

compatibility with breastfeeding. Many pediatricians 

remain unaware that the National Library of 

Medicine offers a free, up-to-date, online internet 

medication search service called LactMed, which 

can be used to query any medication’s compatibility 

with breastfeeding. This session will discuss 

the new AAP policy statement, identify classes of 

medications that are currently controversial (SSRIs, 

alcohol, tobacco, narcotics, methadone, and galactogogues), 

and provide resources for pediatricians.

well as mimics will be used to help the learner 

distinguish between abuse and other diagnoses. 

Faculty will also discuss elements of child abuse 

reporting and management, including the potential 

role of referral to child abuse pediatricians. 

Megan Letson, MD, MEd, FAAP; Daniel Lindberg, MD 

A1097 Neurological Emergencies! 


One of the scariest experiences a pediatrician 

faces is an infant or child with the sudden onset

S1109 Is There a Doctor in the House 

Responding to Emergencies in Public Places 


Students, residents, and seasoned clinicians are 

constantly exposed to sophisticated technology and 

expensive medical equipment. Most are comfortable 

managing patients in a full-service, modern hospital 

but lack training and experience as first responders 

to an emergency outside the clinical environment. 

This session will help clinicians understand first-aid 

techniques and strategies to manage an injury or 

illness “in the field,” without state-of-the-art tools. 

Case scenarios will include a variety of medical 

emergencies, minor injuries, and life-threatening 

trauma, involving toddlers, teens, and senior 

citizens. The approach to multiple victims, ethical 

issues, and legal considerations will be reviewed.

been abused. But what of children with unexplained 

subdural hematomas While subdural hematomas 

are commonly considered to be traumatic injuries, is

evidence of trauma, and therefore abuse Abuse 

deniers claim that the classic “triad” of subdural 

hematoma, retinal hemorrhages, and encephalopathy 

is being thoughtlessly used to diagnose abuse, 

whereas others reasonably ask what other plausible 

explanation there could be for intracranial bleeding.

Pediatricians frequently encounter patients with 

histories of adverse, and possibly, allergic reactions 

to foods, antibiotics, other medications, insect 

stings, and vaccines. These can be difficult adverse 

clinical reactions to assess. Many times, these 

patients get labeled as “allergic” without a sufficient 

diagnostic workup. Although the clinical history can 

be useful, it is not always the determining factor 

in ruling out an allergic reaction. This session will 

review selected cases, including skin testing, that 

can be undertaken to help identify an allergic 

sensitivity (eg, penicillin, venom, and vaccines).

X2004 Not Just “Back to Sleep”: What 

You Still Don’t Know About Safe Sleep 

for Infants 


Positional asphyxia is the leading preventable cause 

of death among infants under 1 year of age. Unsafe 

sleep practices are prevalent, particularly among 

certain racial and ethnic groups. While the Back 

to Sleep campaign was enormously successful in 

reducing the rates of sudden infant death syndrome 

(SIDS), unsafe sleep environments due to bed 

sharing, unsafe sleep locations, and unnecessary 

items in the bed continue to cause numerous infant 

deaths annually. Recent studies have shown that the 

overwhelming majority of advertisements in parenting 

magazines depict unsafe sleep environments, sending 

conflicting and potentially harmful messages to 

parents. This session will cover the literature related 

to safe sleep practices, fatality review, and SUIDI— 

the Sudden Unexplained Infant Death Investigation

Closed head injuries (CHI) are common in childhood 

and adolescence. The scientific literature 

for CHI evaluation and management, although 

incomplete and conflicting, is evolving. This 

session will offer an opportunity for pediatricians 

to be updated on the most current knowledge 

about evaluation and management of minor 

closed head injuries, including indications for 

imaging and return to play recommendations. 

Nathan Kuppermann, MD, MPH, FAAP 

F2037 The Preoperative Environment: 

Preparation and Intraoperative Care 


This session will include a discussion on the preanesthetic 

or presedation evaluation of the patient with 

a focus on identifying potential airway difficulties 

and the presence of comorbid diseases with their 

impact on perioperative care. Postoperative and 

postprocedure care of patients will be highlighted, 

including recovery, monitoring, pain control, and the 

need for ongoing obervation based on the presence 

of comorbid conditions such as prematurity.

clear these agents work, what is less clear is how 

they should be used to produce optimum benefit. 

The indications, mechanism of action, benefits and 

risks of biologics will be reviewed. The participant 

will gain skills to better assist families in deciding 

whether to use these medicines for their child. 

Carol Wallace, MD 

F2039 Pediatric Pain and Suffering: 

Managing Common Problems in Children 

with Advanced or Chronic Illness

I2048 Using QI to Improve Care for Children 

with Developmental-Behavioral Problems 


Quality improvement (QI) and patient safety 

are critical competencies of pediatric care, and 

primary pediatric health care professionals are 

under increased pressure to demonstrate their 

active involvement in QI activities for Maintenance 

of Certification (MOC). Given their prevalence in 

primary care pediatric practice and a reported 

general lack of comfort in their management, 

developmental-behavioral disorders present a 

fertile ground for office-based QI activities. 

Rebecca Baum, MD, FAAP; Eugenia Chan, MD, MPH, FAAP 

I2049 Providing Oral Health Services in the 

Medical Home 

➤➤ 



This session will provide attendees the elements 

of performing an oral health risk assessment using 

an oral health risk assessment tool and show 

them how to use it as a guide in pediatric practice. 

Once a clinician is comfortable with identifying 

children as high risk, faculty will address how to 

apply oral health prevention strategies, including 

oral health education and counseling, and fluoride 

varnish application. Faculty will demonstrate how 

the pediatric office can use oral health as a topic 

for implementation of a quality improvement 

project. The pediatrician may choose to learn 

how to do a fluoride varnish for these children.

F2069 Anemia in Children: Iron Deficiency 

and Beyond 

➤➤ 



Despite iron supplementation, anemia remains a 

finding in childhood. Although iron deficiency continues 

to occur, frequently anemia has other causes. The 

pediatrician is called upon to correctly diagnose 

and treat iron deficiency and recognize the potential 

causes and interventions for this nutritional deficiency. 

In addition, the pediatrician should recognize when 

anemia is from other causes such as immune 

hemolysis, hemoglobinopathy, chronic disease, and 

others. The speaker will give an overview of the 

diagnosis and management of anemia in children.

F2097 A Newborn Has Prenatally Diagnosed 

Hydronephrosis: What Do I Do Now 


With the routine use of prenatal ultrasonography, the 

diagnosis of hydronephrosis is being made more 

often. The vast majority of cases of hydronephrosis 

are not associated with any significant pathology and 

do not need any treatment. However, some cases 

can be associated with significant pathology such 

as high-grade reflux and/or obstruction. The finding 

of hydronephrosis on prenatal screening can cause 

significant anxiety for the expectant parents, and 

the burden on how to radiographically evaluate the 

newborn with this finding often falls into the hands of 

the pediatrician. This session will review the natural 

history of prenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis and 

the pathologic conditions that can be associated 

with this. Recent guidelines will also be discussed as 

they relate to the use of prophylactic antibiotics and 

what radiographic studies should be considered.

food for an active, healthy lifestyle. This session 

will review trends in childhood food insecurity and 

the linkages between food security status and 

nutritional, physical, and mental health outcomes 

in children; particular attention will be devoted to 

examining the relationship between food insecurity 

and obesity. The session will also describe methods 

and strategies to screen for food insecurity and 

community, state, and federal resources for families.

As diagnostic and therapeutic options for the treatment 

of infectious diseases in children continue to 

change, general pediatricians often find themselves 

seeking updated information about these issues. 

Using infectious disease case vignettes, this 

activity will address gaps in knowledge regarding 

the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of common 

infectious diseases seen in primary care, 

such as (but not limited to) infectious diarrhea, 

skin and soft-tissue infections, wound infections, 

tuberculosis, and vaccine preventable diseases. 

Gaps in knowledge regarding changes/updates in 

vaccine recommendations will also be addressed.

I2108 The Future of Pediatric Clinical Trials: 

The Critical Role of Patients and Families 


Although clinical trials for new technologies and 

medications are vital to advancing patient care, 

physicians may find it difficult to explain the importance 

of these trials to their patients and their 

families. This session will provide an in-depth review 

of the challenges in advancing new technologies 

and enhance the knowledge of attendees about 

the importance of pediatric research and how this 

research affects their daily practice. An emphasis 

will be placed on the role played by families and how 

involvement in clinical trials can have a dramatic 

impact not just in advancing medical care but also 

in improving outcomes for individual patients.

mothers and babies will demonstrate breastfeeding 

techniques and discuss how pediatric providers 

can best support breastfeeding. Indications for 

the use of breast pumps and ancillary feeding 

devices will be reviewed, and these products will 

be available for demonstration. Incorporating

Treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder 


The medical home provides culturally sensitive, 

comprehensive, and coordinated care. Because 

children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are 

provided with multiple interventions, some of which 

the family and clinician may not agree on, it is important 

for the primary care provider to have the skills 

to collaborate with families in an effective fashion. 

The use of decision aids is one approach that will 

be reviewed. This methodology is useful when the 

evidence for interventions is not sufficient for a 

specific indicated recommendation to be made. The 

session will explore current complementary therapies 

popular for ASD and approaches to collaborative 

care that can be used in the medical home.

F2130 Preventing HPV-Related Cancers: 

Pediatricians and the HPV Vaccine 


The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been 

widely used in many countries and has proven to 

be very safe and effective. However, immunization 

rates for adolescents in the United States are 

unacceptably low and are lagging behind other 

vaccines recommended for children at ages 11 

to 12 years. Thus, a large number of adolescents 

remain unprotected against the HPV serotypes that 

cause most cervical cancers in women and other 

anogenital and oral cancers in women and men. In 

this session, the epidemiology of HPV infections and 

related cancers, the rationale for current AAP recommendations, 

and the safety and effectiveness of the 

currently licensed HPV vaccines will be presented.

S2148 Recognizing Alcohol-Related 

Neurodevelopmental Disorder in Primary 

Healthcare of Children 


Prenatal exposure to alcohol is the leading 

preventable cause of birth defects, intellectual 

disability, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The 

nondiagnostic umbrella term “fetal alcohol spectrum 

disorders (FASDs)” is used to characterize the full 

range of diagnoses resulting from prenatal alcohol 

exposure, including fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), 

partial fetal alcohol syndrome (pFAS), alcoholrelated 

neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND), 

and alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD). These 

disorders result in a broad array of physical defects 

and cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and adaptive 

functioning deficits that can vary from mild to severe. 

Through participation in this session primary care

P3075 Addiction and the Brain: What 

You Need to Know 

Nora Volkow, MD 

Recent advances in neuroscience have radically 

altered our understanding of addiction 

as a neurologic disorder as opposed to a 

predominantly deviant behavior. This presentation 

will review the current model of the 

neurologic basis of addiction, particularly 

for marijuana. This information is critical 

for practicing clinicians as they increasingly 

implement the medical home approach to care 

with their patients and families for managing 

behavioral and mental health disorders. 

11:10am-11:30am 

P3076 Where There Is No Psychiatrist: 

A Method for Addressing the Needs 

of Underserved Communities Using 

Telebehavioral Health 

Jane Oski, MD, MPH, FAAP 

The new morbidities of mental health and 

behavioral health pose a challenge for all 

pediatricians and others who care for children 

and their families, especially in rural and 

medically underserved communities. This 

presentation will describe how telebehavioral 

health technology can support innovative 

models of care in addressing behavioral health 

shortages in specific populations. Solutions 

that have addressed these issues in their 

communities and other rural and medically 

underserved communities will be addressed. 

11:30am-11:50am 

P3077 Safely Doing Less: A Solution to 

the Epidemic of Overuse in Healthcare 

Alan Schroeder, MD, FAAP 

The United States spends more on healthcare 

than any other country in the world, yet our 

outcomes do not reflect our immense expenditures. 

Unnecessary tests and treatments are 

not only wasteful, but they can harm patients. 

This session will identify examples of overuse 

in pediatrics, explore some of the drivers of 

unnecessary care, and propose solutions. 

11:50am-12:10pm 

P3078 Economics of Poverty in Children 

Janet Currie, PhD 

Fifty years after President Johnson initiated the 

“War on Poverty,” the nation has made great 

strides in terms of reducing child malnutrition, 

morbidity, and mortality. 1 in 5 children still 

live in poverty, and poor children continue to 

experience negative health and educational 

outcomes relative to other children, which, in 

turn, may have dire consequences for our future 

workforce. This session will discuss the evidence 

regarding the effectiveness of good-quality early 

childhood education for disadvantaged children 

and how that investment can reap extraordinary 

dividends through higher worker productivity, 

reduced crime and less government assistance. 

This type of investment should become a 

top economic priority for policymakers.

on providing appropriate follow-up to minimize the 

risk of rehospitalization and ongoing morbidity. 

Vinod Bhutani, MD, FAAP 

X3008 How Does the Media Affect Children 

and Adolescents 


Pediatricians often don’t ask about media use, yet 

kids spend 7 to 11 hours/day with a variety of media. 

Media can have a wide-ranging influence on a number 

of health concerns—aggression, obesity, eating 

disorders, substance abuse, attention-deficit disorder, 

and depression. Clinicians who take care of children 

and teenagers need to be aware of how powerful 

the influence of the media can be on key health 

issues in young people. In addition, new technology 

has brought new and urgent concerns about media 

impact—cyberbullying, sexual exploitation, social 

networking, and sexting. New research is just now 

illuminating features of all of these health risks. This 

session will explore these media effects and suggest 

solutions and interventions to mitigate the impact.

questions regarding the appropriate use of different 

imaging modalities in children. In this interactive 

forum, cases will be discussed and questions 

answered concerning the “as low as reasonably 

achievable” (ALARA) principle, the Image Gently 

campaign, and general guidelines regarding the 

appropriate use of ultrasound, fluoroscopy, computed 

tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance 

imaging (MRI). An open forum will be provided for 

questions and answers from audience members.

prevalence and the patterns of use of performance 

enhancing and nutritional substances in the pediatric 

population. Faculty will review ergogenic aid and 

nutritional supplement use by adolescent athletes. 

This will focus on those substances in most common 

use, as well as “emerging” substances that appear 

to be increasing in interest and popularity. Discussion 

will occur on how to screen athletes at risk for use 

of performance-enhancing substances during the 

history and physical examination and how to counsel 

patients and parents against the use of ergogenic 

aids; the emphasis will be on conveying established 

means for maximizing performance in young athletes.

F3091 What’s Behind This Behavior 

Behavioral Traits of Genetic Syndromes 


Pediatricians are typically the first to be consulted 

for a child’s behavioral concerns. Many genetic 

disorders are associated with specific types of 

behaviors and the presence of such behavior may 

be the primary clue that leads to a diagnosis. 

Examples might include self-injurious behavior, 

hypersociability, immaturity, or extreme shyness. 

With more genetic testing available and being 

used in younger children, diagnoses are being 

made before the onset of such behaviors. In this 

session, attendees will learn which behavior patterns 

suggest the need for genetic evaluation and which 

diagnoses are likely to be associated with behaviors 

for which anticipatory guidance or early therapies 

may prove essential for the child’s well-being. 

Jonathan Picker, MD

A3096 Too Tall, Too Short, Too Fat, Too 

Thin: When to Suspect a Genetic Syndrome 

➤➤ 



This session will focus on helping the busy pediatrician 

quickly recognize the characteristic findings of 

children with tall or short stature, or whose weight 

falls well above or below the normal range, and who 

have a genetic basis for their growth disturbance. 

An algorithm will be provided to give the physician 

a method for efficiently determining which of these 

patients would benefit from a genetics evaluation 

and will be demonstrated using interactive case 

discussions involving the most common disorders 

associated with atypical stature or weight.

I3099 The Road to Advocacy 


Pediatricians in all kinds of practice advocate at 

the local, state, and federal level for their patients 

and families. However, incorporating advocacy 

activities into a busy practice is challenging. 

During this session, participants will learn 

how the AAP can provide advocacy assistance, 

what type of advocacy is necessary for specific 

situations, and how to incorporate advocacy into 

their pediatric practice. Examples of working at 

local, state, and federal levels will be presented 

and an emphasis placed on integrating public 

health philosophies into pediatric practices.

the ACA, insurance company consolidation, and hospital 

consolidation. These choices will be examined 

in the light of healthcare reform, and various independence 

preserving aggregation models including group 

without walls, independent practice association, and 

clinically integrated networks will be explained so that 

independent pediatricians might remain independent.

S3142 Genetic Testing Basics: What’s the 

Right Test to Send 


The microarray test has become the standard 

of care for the child with autism, delays, and/or 

congenital anomalies. Other genetic tests such 

as chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ 

hybridization (FISH), single gene tests, multigene 

panels, and now whole exome sequencing are all 

available, and it may not always be clear which test 

is the appropriate one for evaluation. This session 

will address the information the pediatrician needs 

to understand the different types of tests, indications, 

and limitations that will allow for informed 

discussion with families of children who have the 

testing done. Differences and similarities of different 

forms of genetic testing will be highlighted.

D4037 Is There Any Indication for Use of 

Medical Marijuana Products Outside of 

Clinical Trials in Children with Epilepsy 


The news has been filled with stories about the use 

of medical marijuana products in children. Parents 

want to explore this medicinal option for their children 

with seizures. Interestingly, this is one of the 

rare times when the White House was petitioned 

to change the DEA schedule of a substance so it 

can be used in clinical trials, a move supported 

by physician groups. So what’s the big deal 

The question is not quite as simple as it seems 

because of the clinical context in which it is used.
