Allison Norton, MD (Allergy) will discuss antibiotic allergy delabeling
Julia Anderson, MD and Sara Francis, PhD (Gastroenterology) will share their approach to caring for children with functional abdominal pain
John Thomas, MD (Urology) will discuss the diagnosis and management of urinary reflux

Lunch will be provided and small group sessions will be available for topics such as:

Optimizing personal finance
How to improve billing and coding
Successful strategies to integrate work and family

Afternoon sessions will include training in:

Sports medicine (including concussion management and a splinting/suturing skills lab)
Mental health disorders, led by colleagues at Centerstone

A complete schedule coming soon.

All are invited to attend, and registration is open until the day of the event ($50, CPF members; $100, non-members). As a special gift to our CPF members, discounted early bird registration is available until December 21, 2025 ($25).
