Activity Information

Needs Statement

Physicians, fellows, residents, physician assistants, nurses, and nurse practitioners in a pediatric or neonatology clinical setting need to receive regular updates on advances in the pathology of neonatal diseases. The series will serve as a forum to explore the natural history of neonatal diseases, issues in diagnostic pathology, interpretation of major pathologic findings, and disease prevention strategies. Full and imaging autopsy will be explored as means to explain neonatal death and risk to future pregnancies. The series also aims to expand the knowledge of the learners in these topic areas, enhance the quality of neonatal care, and improve patient outcomes.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of the session, the participants should be able to:

  • Analyze a clinical situation to identify areas of success and areas of improvement to continue to improve
    patient care.
  • Summarize the pathology discussion regarding autopsy results.
  • Identify modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis and their impact on clinical
    care.
  • Discuss treatment of hyperkalemia and coagulopathy in a critically ill premature neonate.

Disclosure Policy

Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. BCM is committed to sponsoring CE activities that are scientifically based, accurate, current, and objectively presented.

In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, BCM has implemented a mechanism requiring everyone in a position to control the content of an educational activity (i.e., directors, planning committee members, faculty) to disclose any relevant financial relationships with commercial interests (drug/device companies) and manage/resolve any conflicts of interest prior to the activity. Individuals must disclose to participants the existence or non-existence of financial relationships at the time of the activity or within 24 months prior.

In addition, BCM has requested activity faculty/presenters to disclose to participants any unlabeled use or investigational use of pharmaceutical/device products; to use scientific or generic names (not trade names) in referring to products; and, if necessary to use a trade name, to use the names of similar products or those within a class. Faculty/presenters have also been requested to adhere to the ACCME's validation of clinical content statements.

BCM does not view the existence of financial relationships with commercial interests as implying bias or decreasing the value of a presentation. It is up to participants to determine whether the relationships influence the activity faculty with regard to exposition or conclusions. If at any time during this activity you feel that there has been commercial/promotional bias, notify the Activity Director or Activity Coordinator. Please answer the questions about balance and objectivity in the activity evaluation candidly.

All of the relevant financial relationships listed for these individuals have been mitigated.
