Medicine continues to grow and evolve. So does CHKD's commitment to the education of its medical staff and the region's healthcare professionals. At CHKD, we’re dedicated to serving the educational needs of both future and practicing healthcare professionals.

Continuing Medical Education (CME)

Healthcare professionals at CHKD benefit from learning from our academic medical experts who are affiliated with Eastern Virginia Medical School.

Free seminars at CHKD are intended for pediatricians, family practitioners and other health care professionals who care for children. Physicians are life-long learners and the CME program at CHKD provides effective and efficient resources for such continued learning.

The CME program fosters excellence in pediatric care through its diverse educational activities. Activities focus on prevention, treatment, diagnosis, emerging technologies and procedures in pediatrics, pharmacotherapy, and practice-related needs, and are designed to improve the pediatric knowledge, attitudes, and skills of physicians and healthcare professionals who care for children.

Specific CME activities include, but are not limited to, single and multi-day conferences, community rounds and maternal newborn transport reviews. See our list of upcoming CME events here.

Most activities are presented in traditional lecture and case-based formats. However, the program encourages diverse presentation formats to achieve activity objectives.
