This annual conference brings together hundreds of pediatric primary care providers (pediatricians, family medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, residents, and allied health professionals) from across Indiana and the Midwest.The majority of the clinicians come from outpatient settings with interests in learning more about current evidence-based diagnostic and management tools pertinent to their pediatric practice. The title and theme for the 2020  conference is: Quality Care is Never an Accident: Putting Patients First.
