Looking Ahead
By Magna Chang Dias, MD
SPUC President
This thanksgiving we have so much to be grateful for at SPUC. Our 2018 conference in Orlando had more than 120 attendees from the US and Ireland. We had experts share information on topics ranging from sports injuries to infectious diseases.
We also had wonderful workshops on simulation, splinting and suturing. We held our first track for nurses in pediatric urgent care and continued our annual preconference leadership summit for pediatric urgent care leaders to discuss practice management and development. We also had a lot of fun networking in sunny Orlando.
If you weren’t able to attend, here are some exciting things to look forward to in the year ahead:
- We are collaborating with the CDC and ARAC on a pediatric urgent care specific MOC/QI you can get involved with in 2019.
- We will have new board members to replace a few that have completed their terms. Members will soon receive an online ballot to vote for new board members. We encourage everyone to exercise your voting rights to help build the future of SPUC. Much thanks to Dr. Mike Moran and Dr. Usha Sankrithi for their service.
- We will keep the networking going all year long through our newsletters, listserv, social media pages on facebook and twitter.
Have a safe and healthy holiday season.
