I’m back in the CLE for about a minute, before I head on to DC and then Portland (OR) for the week. Before I go, a couple things worth mentioning.

I’m remiss in not getting this posted last week, but it’s been flagged and in my pile, so I knew I’d get it up here one of these days. My memory was jogged by a related resource newly released, though. So now we’ll make this a tandem event. NCVC and the National Coalition of Anti-Violence [...]

Caring for Pediatric/Adolescent LGBT Patients
June 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment
The Children’s Hospital of Denver has an archived grand rounds presentation on caring for LGBT patients and their families in pediatric and adolescent medicine that was initially presented last November. It’s a 40 minute video with Powerpoint slides, and I particularly like that it’s focused on peds, since that subset of this specialized patient population [...]
