ForwardECHO-Chicago: Common Pediatric Problems in Primary Care
April 9, 2026 to July 9, 2026
Advancing Skills in Pediatric Primary Care
Pediatric primary care clinicians guide children and families through every stage of growth, from preventive care and immunizations to the management of acute illness, chronic disease, and emerging mental health concerns. As the scope of pediatric care continues to expand, clinicians need practical strategies to address these complex needs in the primary care setting.
This engaging educational series brings together experts and colleagues for case-based learning focused on the real challenges pediatric clinicians face every day. Participants will explore evidence-based approaches to managing common pediatric conditions, applying current immunization guidance, strengthening diagnostic reasoning, and addressing key issues such as obesity, cardiometabolic risk, and pediatric mental health.
Leave with practical tools to care for infants, children, and adolescents with greater confidence, improving care coordination, reducing unnecessary referrals and hospital visits, and helping children achieve healthier outcomes.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for all pediatric primary care clinicians.
Learning Objectives
After this activity, participants will be able to:
- Apply evidence-based management strategies for common pediatric acute and chronic conditions in primary care.
- Implement current immunization guidelines to ensure children receive vaccines safely and on time in primary care.
- Analyze high-risk clinical presentations to strengthen diagnostic reasoning in general pediatrics.
- Differentiate psychosocial and contextual factors influencing pediatric health outcomes in primary care settings.
- Evaluate cardiometabolic risk factors to guide obesity management in children and adolescents.
- Assess mental health presentations to inform management of common pediatric mood and anxiety disorders in primary care.
- Design coordinated care plans for children with medical complexity within the primary care setting.
- Formulate structured transition processes to support adolescents moving from pediatric to adult healthcare systems.
