Senior Fellow Kristi Westphaln, PhD(c) RN CPNP and a team of California nurse practitioners designed a six-session course on child health policy. These sessions are 15 minutes long. You do not have to live in California. Details about this course are below with a link to register.
Navigating the child health policy arena may seem intimidating and complicated. Child-specific policy resources are sometimes scarce and traveling to health policy conferences may be challenging. The California NAPNAP Child Health Policy Coalition welcomes you to an innovative solution that coincides with our new year’s resolution: let’s get engaged in pediatric health policy!
Crafted by the passions and expertise of the legislative chairs and policy enthusiasts from the NAPNAP Chapters in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley, this pediatric health policy educational opportunity is our call to you to get involved. We present a variety of brief, multi-media educational sessions on an array of local and federal child health policies that are relatable and relevant to your practice.
Health Insurance in Children – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: six sessions, approximately 15-minutes long, include:
- Let’s Get National: Federal Implications for Pediatric Health Policy
- Human Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC)
- Let’s Get Local: State and Child health Policy Issues and Perspectives on Rural Health in California
- Updates on Full Practice Authority and Legal Issues Involving Nurse Practitioners
- Speak Out: Navigating the Gun Violence Epidemic with Sen. Richard Pan
You’ll earn 1.75 contact hours when you complete all six sessions in this course and walk away more confident in your role as a health care leader and advocate for child health advocacy.
You do not have to be a member of NAPNAP or live in California to take the module. You can register here.
