Overview
This interdisciplinary conference offers an update for clinicians who care for children, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities and complex health care needs. Due to continuing concerns with the COVID 19 pandemic, we will continue the live stream format, employing a live stream webinar and user-friendly interactive virtual platforms. The live presentations will be recorded and made available for 30 days so you can review any content as needed. As in past pre-pandemic conferences, non-profit exhibitors will be available to provide resources to help you to deliver more informed care for patients and clients of all ages.
Our expert faculty will address topics of interest to pediatricians, family physicians, nurse clinicians, psychologists, internists and others who are involved in the health care of children and adults with developmental disabilities. This year’s conference features discussions on conservatorship reform, trauma informed care, mental health supports, deprescribing antipsychotic medications, and emergency planning to adapt to climate change. While the conference is designed and accredited for health care professionals, we welcome families and individuals with developmental disabilities to also attend.
This activity is developed by a community planning and advisory committee made up of self-advocates and representatives from the following agencies: UCSF, Stanford University, The Arc San Francisco, Golden Gate Regional Center, East Bay Regional Center, State Council on Developmental Disabilities, Support for Families, WITH Foundation, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the California Department of Developmental Services.
LIVE STREAM MEETING
This course will be offered as a virtual conference. Login instructions along with the digital syllabus will be shared with the attendees a week before the meeting. Included in your registration fee is access to the course recordings on demand after the conference and for 30 days after the course. You must tune in to the live conference (in person or remotely) to claim CME.
