The 2026 Topics in Children’s Health Conference is a two-morning hybrid CME event designed to strengthen collaboration between community primary care providers and pediatric subspecialists across the Intermountain West. Each session features a focused “Top 3 for PCPs” format, in which subspecialists highlight the three most common referral concerns they receive and provide practical guidance for evaluation, initial management, and co-management in the primary care setting. The conference will be hosted in Salt Lake City with live broadcast sites throughout the region, creating opportunities for in-person networking while expanding access to high-quality continuing education. By emphasizing actionable clinical updates, clear referral guidance, and relationship building, this activity supports coordinated, high-value pediatric care and ultimately improves outcomes for children and families.

3. Initiate appropriate, evidence-based evaluation and initial management in the primary care setting.
