Pediatric Psychological Trauma in Infants and Young Children from Illness, Injury and Medical Intervention
February 27, 2010
The aim of this conference is to bring specific attention to the biological and psychological consequences of severe distress and pain that are commonplace in pediatric medicine and to improve the quality of care that young children birth to five receive throughout the health care system. The interdisciplinary focus of the conference is unique, with distinguished contributors from epidemiology, neuroscience, medicine, nursing, psychiatry, and psychology who will address key questions, identify barriers to change, and illuminate opportunities for research. Recognizing and understanding the scope of work to be accomplished will be addressed in conference presentations and panel discussions.
The conference is designed to appeal to a wide audience: pediatricians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, child life specialists, physical and occupational therapists, researchers and others interested in the medical experience, science, and clinical care of the developing young child.
Event dates: February 27 and 28
Event time: all day
This event will be held at the Davidson Center, University of Southern California 3415 South Figueroa Street Los Angeles, CA 90007.
