Psych Medication Management for Peds Patients in Primary Care

Thursday, June 13, 2024, 5:45 PM - 8:45 PM, St. Louis, MO, St. Louis, MO

We recognize that the scope of practice for a primary care pediatrician includes preventative care and management of common medical conditions, as well as assessment of more severe conditions and referrals to specialists. For a variety of reasons, more and more responsibility for the management of mental health concerns is falling to general pediatric health care providers, particular for issues such as anxiety and depression, and hospital follow-up. We are pleased to have our experts discussing antidepressants, mood stabilizers, hospital transitions and follow-up, and specific case studies in the pediatric primary care setting.  

1. Identify alternatives to SSRI's, and how to prescribe and manage those medications for pediatric patients in the primary care setting.
2. Discuss the use of mood stabilizers in peds patients, and describe appropriate management of those medications in primary care followup to hospitalization.
3. Determine how to monitor safety and manage psych medications in pediatric patients (age, weight, metabolism, labs, potential side-effects, etc.).
