This online learning community is dedicated to:

  • Providing a forum in which children's healthcare providers can share information with one another as they adapt their practices to meet the needs of the increasingly diverse population of children they serve.
  • Improving the health and heathcare of all the children of Colorado --  regardless of their socioeconomic status, ethnic origin, cultural background, linguistic status or other aspects of their background.  

This website, a communication and learning space, is intended to complement our biweekly newsletter and monthly teleconferences.  It includes:

  • An information library of text materials (articles, handouts, information sheets)
  • Links to other relevant web sites
  • Discussion boards for interested individuals to share thoughts and information
  • Copies of our previous newsletters

Continuing Medical Education credits are offered for our conferences and workshops

We will be experimenting with the use of a variety of new collaborative technologies and methodologies -- intended to allow participants to learn what they want to know, when they want to, in ways that are engaging, time-sensitive, and effective.  We invite your comments and suggestions for improvements in the site, materials to include or topics that should be addressed.   Please send your suggestions to poole.steven@tchden.org.

Pediatric providers and staff like yourselves have many "lessons learned." We would greatly appreciate your sharing some.

Thank you!

 

If you would like to receive our monthly newsletter with tips for providing culturally sensitive care for the increasing number of children from other cultures and the increasing number of children growing up in poverty, please send your request to poole.steven@tchden.org.
