Sepsis remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children despite improved understanding of the pathophysiology leading to better clinical management and survival. Recent studies have identified several areas that must be addressed by the clinician in order to continue to impact the morbidity and mortality associated with sepsis. In today's episode we talk with Halden Scott, MD about the presentation, management and follow-up care of pediatric patients with sepsis.

Dr. Scott is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physician at Children's Hospital Colorado.

As more of our pediatric patients become eligible for the vaccine, primary care providers will be considering how to safely vaccinate patients with a risk of allergic reaction. In this episode, we will talk about the incidence, suspected epidemiology and current policy related to allergic reactions to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and steps for avoiding potential adverse reactions.

Refugee & Immigrant Health in Pediatrics with Janine Young, MD (S4:E34) Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, 1 in 4 children in the United States are part of an immigrant family unit. By definition, immigrant children are those born outside the United States or who have at least one foreign-born parent. In the last decade, global conflicts have propelled the migration of these families, creating a more diverse migrant population and given rise to divisive sociopolitical policy in our country. Like all children, the experiences of this patient population are diverse and have direct impacts on their biopsychosocial development. Additionally, this patient population may face unique challenges of inequity that can threaten their health and wellbeing. In this episode, we will talk through considerations that pediatric medical providers can make that are uniquely supportive to the refugee and immigrant patient population.

For this discussion we are pleased to be joined by a colleague from the broader pediatrics community in Denver, Janine Young, MD.

Dr. Young is the Medical Director of the Denver Health Refugee Clinic; Co-Medical Director of the Denver Health Human Rights Clinic and Medical Advisor for the Colorado Refugee Services Program. She is also Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

COVID Vaccines and Kids with Eric France, MD, CMO of the Colorado Dept. of Public Health & Environment (S4:E32) May 20, 2021

Last week, the federal government took a final step toward making the Pfizer COVID vaccine available to adolescents in the U.S. when the CDC formally recommended the vaccine for use in children ages 12 to 15. The approval of the vaccine for our adolescent patients is exciting. It also presents a unique opportunity for us, as pediatricians, to spend time engaging with families to address their questions and share our confidence in this vaccine.

In this episode, we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Eric France, Chief Medical Officer at the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment.
