Upcoming Educational Opportunities on Atopic Dermatitis and Childhood Lead Prevention!

Did you know 40% of high risk children don’t receive the recommended lead testing? This is especially true now during COVID-19 where we have seen an even more significant decrease in lead testing. In Ohio, it is required for all children on Medicaid or living in a high risk zip code to receive lead testing at the 12 and 24 month well visit. The Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics has educational opportunities for childhood lead prevention to help implement changes in your practice! A journal club and toolkit will launch in February 2021. The toolkit will provide information on how to increase lead testing and anticipatory guidance in your practice with interactive modules. The Journal Club will include articles on different topics surrounding lead. There will be 20 CME/MOC credit available! 

There will be a 2-part training in April that aims to improve lead screening and management of lead poisoning and educate about the gap in current lead testing to improve testing rates. Participants will:

  • Describe current trends in lead poisoning epidemiology and adherence to medical management guidelines
  • Explain resources to families
  • Integrate counseling on lead poisoning prevention into anticipatory guidance.
