UCSF CME: 16th International Conference Neonatal &
Childhood Pulmonary Vascular Disease 2023

Overview:

Over the past decade, great strides have been made in our understanding of the pathobiology of pulmonary vascular disease, and from these findings new therapeutic options have emerged. It is increasingly clear that pulmonary vascular pathology is integral to a number of childhood disorders. In this symposium, we will bring together international experts to explore our current understanding of the basic pathobiology as well as new and future therapies for neonatal, pediatric, and adult pulmonary vascular diseases.

Target Audience
Pediatric and Adult Pulmonologists, Cardiology and Critical Care Physicians, Neonatology Physicians, and Advanced Practice Nurses.

Objectives:

• Apply new knowledge of the developmental vascular biology of neonatal pulmonary vascular disease to increase early detection of the pathology in infants;
• Provide strategies for multi-disciplinary teams to optimize the role of nursing in the care of neonates, infants, and children with pulmonary vascular disease;
• Assess current and future therapeutic strategies;
• Understand the impact of pulmonary vascular disease in middle-to-low income regions ;
• Understand the rapidly expanding understanding of the genetics and genomics of pulmonary vascular disease;
• Updates on the latest basic and clinical science breakthroughs related to pulmonary vascular disease;
• Mentoring and career advice for trainees and junior faculty interested in Pediatric Pulmonary Vascular Disease.

Accreditation:
