ForwardTeamPeds Talks: Conversations on Child Health Equity - Access to Care Environments
0.5 NAPNAP Contact Hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members and for non- members.
Interprofessional Care Experiences for Persons with Autism and Neurodiversity
TeamPeds Talks will spotlight Child Health Equity in our first Conversations on Child Health series. This series of recorded conversations will reflect the several key issues that make up the underlying factors in the arena of Social Determinants of Health.
A “place-based” organizing framework, reflecting key areas of social determinants of health (SDOH), was developed by Healthy People 2020. Each of these determinant areas reflects a number of key issues that make up the underlying factors in the arena of SDOH.
Each conversation episode is hosted by National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Executive Board President Jessica Peck, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC, CNE, CNL, FAANP.
