Target Audience
Needs Statement
To address the identified practice gaps in pediatric hematology, healthcare professionals require ongoing, targeted education that reinforces evidence-based practices and supports consistent, high-quality care. At Texas Children’s Hospital, annual needs assessments help identify high-yield topics tailored to the evolving needs of faculty, fellows, and clinical staff. Educational activities delivered through didactic presentations, case-based discussions, and other interactive formats are designed to enhance foundational knowledge, strengthen clinical reasoning, and promote the application of updated guidelines. There is a particular need to improve familiarity with validated assessment tools, build confidence in the use of emerging therapies, and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure optimal outcomes for pediatric patients.
Educational Methods
Educational methods will include lectures, case presentations, literature review, and audience response.
Objectives
At the conclusion of the sessions, the participants should be able to:
- Accurately diagnose both common and uncommon pediatric hematologic conditions using current clinical guidelines and diagnostic tools.
- Apply evidence-based management strategies to the care of children with both routine and complex hematologic disorders.
- Interpret and explain the results of relevant laboratory tests and imaging studies to support clinical decision-making in pediatric hematology.
- Recognize and address the psychosocial and quality-of-life impacts associated with chronic hematologic conditions in pediatric patients and their families.
Evaluation
Participants may be asked to complete a session evaluation.
