The noon-time online sessions on developing a sustainable and collaborative knowledge-sharing community to improve the transition from pediatric to adult care for youth with medical complexity will culminate next spring with a day-long, in-person summit on March 13 at 317 on Rice Park in St. Paul.
“This summit will offer a combination of experts in transition care, patients, and those just starting out in this very important field,” said project medical director Tori Bahr, MD.
The noon-time sessions and summit, made possible by a grant from the COPIC Medical Foundation, aim to improve the competence and confidence of Minnesota adult primary care clinicians to manage youth with complex conditions, thereby increasing the capacity and number of such clinicians willing to accept new patients.
