Project Description:
CEDD provides continuing education courses on DD and support services to enable healthcare/education/other professionals to expand their knowledge base and stay up-to-date on new developments. These continuing education courses offer CME (continuing medical education) or CEUs (continuing education units) and contribute to maintenance of professional credentials. Our primary venues for CME/CEU courses are (1) our annual Summer Institute on Neurodevelopmental Disorders (additional information in Objective 5a); (2) The California Autism Professional Training and Information Network (CAPTAIN) which is a CEDD-led statewide initiative to develop the infrastructure and interagency collaborations to improve services to children with ASD by providing training in up-to-date evidence-based practices; (3) our monthly Hearts and Minds Series, an interdisciplinary forum for clinical case discussions and presentation of translational research and EBP (10 sessions/yr.); and (4) the Human Genomics Seminar Series (9 sessions per year) which is a collaboration with the UC Davis Department of Pediatrics that keeps participants apprised of developments in the field of clinical genomics through presentations on known and novel genetic/genomic conditions, next generation diagnostic genomic testing, treatment, therapies, and research; (5) the Genomic Medicine Clinical Grand Rounds which keeps participants apprised of developments in the field of clinical genomics through discussion of known and novel genetic/genomic conditions, clinical cases, next generation diagnostic genomic testing; (6) the MIND Institute Research Seminar Series which is a webinar training series intentionally interdisciplinary and typically focuses on research-in-progress, recently completed research, and innovative research methods; and our ECHO Autism program, which reaches providers in rural Northern CA to support access to care.
