Let’s celebrate World TB Day! Join us for our 3rd annual in-person World TB Day event to celebrate Dr. Robert Koch’s Nobel Prize-winning discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and build on our knowledge of TB since his discovery.
Our keynote speaker is Maria Smilios, the author of The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurse who Helped Cure Tuberculosis. The New York Times review said, “Smilios paints an indelible portrait of an era when this untreatable bane killed one American every 11 minutes. Others have covered this territory before. But this account breaks new ground by recovering the forgotten heroics of a corps of Black women who stepped into a void that no one else would fill…an excellent book…that deserves reading and remembering in the pandemic age”.
This year presenters include National experts on topics covering:

TB and Mental Health
TB and Diabetes
TB Survivor stories
Newcomer and Refugee Health
Overview of correct IGRA procedures
Overview of the Denver Tuberculosis Program

Join the Pediatric Mental Health Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado for the Behavioral Health in Pediatric Primary Care conference, a two-day event offering practical strategies to enhance your approach to supporting and treating children and their families.
Course Overview:
Our two-day session combines the leading research from the CU Anschutz School of Medicine with the stories and experiences of community providers. It will be a gathering of the minds where theory meets practice, centered around teaching providers practical solutions. Tracks are designed to address both the “what” – clinical information about screening, diagnosis, treatment, and referral and the “how” – operational expertise to build high quality and financially sustainable practices:
The Clinical What. Designed for those delivering care to kids and families, these sessions will focus on “the what” of behavioral health in primary care. Topics include addressing behavioral health interventions, screening and assessment tools, referral choices and single session to short-term interventions. Sessions will cover when and why to refer patients to specialists and higher levels of care.
The Operational How. Referrals? Co-location? Integration? The choice is not simple. Effective practices often use a variety of approaches based on specific patient populations and practice orientations. We will explore the complexities of meeting the mental health needs of patients by sharing best practices on scheduling, workflows, facility design, billing, and coding to optimize patient experience and health outcomes.
This conference will be of interest to Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Practice Managers and all others that assist in the care of pediatric patients.
Objectives:

Strengthen approaches to treating behavioral health patients in primary care settings.
Explore the range of options primary care practices can employ to meet the mental health needs of youth and support their families.
Define the practices to self-assess models and approaches that work best for their unique patient populations and practice orientation.
Equip providers, behavioral health clinicians, and practice managers with tools to create better workflows, referrals and billing and coding solutions.
