Child abuse is common. 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused in childhood. Many of the pediatric patients you see have been victimized. If you have adult patients, the prevalence is even higher because when someone experiences child maltreatment, they are more likely to need health care for physical and mental health difficulties throughout their lifespan. Indicators of abuse can be subtle, especially in infants. In this session, you will learn what to pay attention to, how to evaluate concerning signs and symptoms, and how to report suspected abuse and neglect and what happens after you do.

Join the NH Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics for an engaging conference featuring interactive, case‑based discussions led by experts in primary care and pediatric specialty fields. Participants will explore timely topics such as artificial intelligence in medicine, pediatric nutrition, genetics, reproductive health, palliative care, and the impact of technology and social media on youth mental health. This event is designed to support learning, collaboration, and forward‑thinking approaches to pediatric care. We look forward to an inspiring and informative program that promotes better health outcomes for children and families.

Hosted by the Maine Association of Psychiatric Physicians (MAPP), this year’s conference theme, Neurodivergence through the Lifespan, will include diagnosis, treatment and lived experience.

This one-hour panel will review recent Maine legislation and policy developments related to the collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data and what these changes mean for clinicians and health care organizations. Panelists Brock Libby, MD; Heide Lester, Deputy Director at EqualityMaine; and Anne Sedlack, MSW, Esq., Director of Advocacy at the Maine Medical Association, will discuss the clinical value of SOGI data, including how inclusive data collection supports patient-centered care, improves health outcomes, and helps identify and address health disparities affecting LGBTQ+ populations.

The MCGI Genomic Tumor Board (GTB) sessions are virtual meetings where oncologists, pathologists, and genomic experts collaborate to interpret complex cancer genomic test results and discuss personalized treatment options. These sessions help clinicians overcome challenges in translating genomic data into clinical care, fostering informed decision-making and advancing precision medicine. Recognized as an eligible CME activity, GTBs provide expert-driven guidance to improve patient outcomes.

These hands-on courses with individual coaching were initially developed at the request of Maine physicians and critical care transport providers who needed to improve their skills, particularly emergency airway and trauma management skills. Critical Care Training Associates developed a unique, humane training program using fresh sheep cadavers, and their education modules have evolved to become effective labs that provide instruction and real-world simulation that allow students to master skills that actually translate to clinical practice. The results speak for themselves, and the program continues to grow after 28 years of ongoing development and improvement.
