Note From Program Chairs
Welcome to another engaging offering of Hot Topics in Pediatrics. We are
excited to bring you a new, up-to-date, in-person program!
This year is our eighth annual conference! We will feature national leaders in
the field of pediatrics for discussions on some of the hottest and most useful
topics for pediatric providers in primary care. Our topics will range from
controversies to interactive educational opportunities.

pediatrics issues and allow you to implement strategies for practice change.
Looking forward to seeing you at Hot Topics in Pediatrics 2023!
