"2020 Pediatric Conference and COVID-19 Update"
Deborah Moss, MD, MPH, FAAP & Annette Myarick, Executive Director
Due to the rapidly evolving situation around COVID019, and out of an abundance of caution, our Board of Directors and CME Planning Committee has decided to postpone our upcoming Pediatric CME Conference until March 20 and 21, 2021.
The consequences for pediatricians and our other guests who would travel to Gettysburg later this month are uncertain and not without risk to them, their communities and workplaces upon their return. With this in mind, we have made this difficult decision.
Planning for this state-wide meeting takes many months and reflects hard work by our Planning Committee, Board, speakers and staff and we are grateful for crafting an exciting agenda with such diligence and care. We look forward to bringing his program to you next year and we hope you will consider deferring your registration fee to reserve your seat!
Please contact us if you would like to apply your registration fee for the 2021 program or is a refund is preferred.
**Special Note: While the Saturday morning session on Suspected Child Abuse & Neglect (SCAN) won't take place in Gettysburg, our training team of physicians and county Children and Youth workers do conduct on-site presentations. To request this training at your practice or hospital, contact Teresa Olsen, Program Director of SCAN, at tolsen@paaap.org. In addition the state offers Child Abuse Clearance Certification online. Visit https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home for information. The online program takes two hours and is free-of-charge.
Many thanks for your support.
Thank you,
Deborah Moss, MD, MPH, FAAP
