Overview

Celebrate five years of innovation, leadership, and impact at CHOP’s nationally recognized Current Concepts in Advanced Practice Conference. This dynamic, fully virtual symposium is designed for providers across all specialties and career stages, with interactive sessions that energize, educate, and inspire. 
With four tailored tracks — Acute Care, Ambulatory & Primary Care, Managing APPs and Informatics — attendees can customize their experience based on their clinical focus and professional goals. Each track offers concurrent sessions featuring expert-led presentations, case-based discussions, practical takeaways and networking opportunities. Whether you’re seeking to deepen clinical expertise, explore data-driven care, or enhance leadership skills, the program provides valuable insights and strategies for every stage of advanced practice. Attendees can earn more than 50 continuing education hours, including  pharmacology hours. 
The conference is targeted to advanced practice providers, physician colleagues, nurses and students in all practice areas throughout the spectrum of advanced practice and pediatric healthcare.


Objectives
  1. 80% of participants will identify that they have an increase in knowledge of pediatric healthcare practices.
  2. 80% of participants will report to integrate evidence-based practices learned during the conference into their clinical practice, resulting in improved patient care outcomes.
  3. 80% of participants will identify that after attending the conference they will engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering communication and teamwork among interdisciplinary teams.
