The Kansas Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (KAAP) is
looking for healthcare providers (MD, DO, PA, NP, NPN, RN,
LPN, RD) to pilot and provide feedback for their childhood
obesity online continuing education program and supporting
materials. There are 4, 1 hour modules on the KS-TRAIN
website of KDHE. The modules reflect the 2007 Expert Committee
Recommendations on the Assessment, Prevention and Treatment
of Child and Adolescent Overweight and Obesity released by
the AMA. In exchange for their feedback, piloting providers
will receive Free CME or CEU nursing credits, a Best Practices
guide, a pediatric BMI wheel, and a CD of provider, patient and
youth resources that can be used for duplication.
If you are interested, please contact Chris Steege at the KAAP at
