Co-Chairs of Seminars in Pediatrics:


Pediatric Feeding Disorder: Not just picking eating I 8:45-9:30AM


Legislating Bodies: Gender-Affirming Care in 2022 I 9:30-10:15AM
The 2020s have so far seen a number of legislative efforts to limit the rights of transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse people in ways that can significantly impact health and wellness – and that introduces governmental interference into pediatric care in an unprecedented way. This talk will summarize these trends and will present up-to-date evidence related to gender-affirming care and other targeted topics, while discussing the negative impact of these laws and decisions on TNG youth and their communities.

Pediatric Sedation Unmasked: An Update for Providers of Pediatric Care I 12:45-1:30PM
The world of outpatient procedural sedation has evolved so much since the University of Wisconsin first opened the pediatric sedation clinic 30 years ago! In this 45-minute discussion, we’ll walk through the types of medications and types of procedures commonly encountered in the pediatric sedation clinic at UW Health Kids. We’ll also detail new interventions and new technologies that are currently being explored, which we hope will limit unnecessary exposure to sedation or anesthesia for our patients. And we’ll discuss what’s coming next for sedation providers in the future at UW Health Kids.

Meeting at the Intersection of Alternate Realities: Supporting Families and Patients Affected by Eating Disorders I 1:30-2:15PM
Dr. Ruedinger will present a brief overview of different eating disorders, and focus on strategies clinicians from all specialties can use to support and treat their patients with eating disorders especially around the time of initial diagnosis. This will include an exploration of the key current and emerging evidence based eating disorders care, and practical tips for speaking with patients and families.

Two Minutes/Two Slides from The Department of Pediatrics Residents and Fellows I 3:45-4:30PM
*Dr. Bernhardt will be moderating this session

Workshop Choice One: A Tale of Two Frenemies: Bladder and Bowel Workshop
Pediatric Bowel & Bladder Dysfunction (BBD), a common complaint that causes significant impact on quality of life, includes a variety of diagnoses including incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infection and encopresis. Children with BBD are seen frequently in both the primary care office as well as the Pediatric Urology clinic. This workshop will cover recognizing signs and symptoms of BBD, standard evaluation and initial treatment, red flags that necessitate referral and how to utilize multidisciplinary resources to best support the patient and family through the process. In addition, we address the history and impact of BBD on Pediatric Urology, evolving practices and current and future research.



Workshop Choice Two: Diagnosis and Management of Pediatric Metabolic Syndrome in Primary Care Workshop
If you have ever wondered how and when to screen for obesity-related complications in your practice, you won’t want to miss this session! With specialists in dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes along with a primary care physician, you’ll go beyond the screening and learn practical tips to triage these results and comfortably start on the right path to referrals and/or management.



Workshop Choice Three: The Epidemic within the Pandemic: Practical Tips for addressing Mental Health Concerns for Children and Families Workshop
During the COVID-19 pandemic we have seen a significant increase in mental health conditions in children and adolescents. This has now been recognized as a public health crisis by many professional organizations. In this workshop, we will explore how to apply strategies and behavioral health tools in our clinical practice to address the mental health issues facing children and adolescents. We will also examine effective ways to communicate about mental health concerns with patients and families in the clinical pediatric setting.




We will have our Exhibitors, including our Community Health Partners, joining us at Seminars in Pediatrics 2022! We encourage attendees to view their booths during breaks and lunch to make connections!
