Free Pediatric Maintenance of Certification Transition Module Available
The University of California San Diego/Rady Children's Hospital with the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) partnered with Got Transition to develop a new pediatric Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part 4 Module on transition. The web-based activity - "Transitioning Youth from Pediatric to Adult-Centered Care - will evaluate adequacy of participant documentation of patients' transition from pediatric to adult centered care within the 6 Core Element framework developed by Got Transition: Center for Health Care Transition Improvement. Eligible participants include clinicians who actively evaluate pediatric patients with chronic diseases on a frequent enough basis to report data on 30 patient visits over a year period. This activity will provide MOC Part IV credits to participants who successfully meet completion criteria.

Health Services for Children with Special Needs (HSCSN) is offering a free online one-hour CME course on health care transition. The one-hour CME features the experiences of physicians in busy pediatric, family medicine, and internal medicine practices in the District of Columbia who successfully implemented the Six Core Elements using quality improvement methodologies. The course was developed in collaboration with The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health/Got Transition, HSCSN, and the DC Department of Health.

New National Young Adult Transition Advisory Group Formed
Got Transition has created a new National Young Adult Transition Advisory Group to advise the organization on young adult perspectives on health care transition. The advisory group consists of young adults with and without disabilities between the ages of 18-25 that come from diverse geographic locations and ethnic backgrounds. They all represent various state and national health-related organizations around the country. The Young Adult Transition Advisory Group will ensure that young adult consumer perspectives are included in Got Transition's plans moving forward. They will help review tools designed to educate and inform young adults on the importance of health care transition, guide Got Transition's social media platforms to relay important health care transition-related messages and resources to youth and young adults, and bolster Got Transition's partnerships with their organizational affiliates.
