COVID Vaccines and Kids with Eric France, MD, CMO of the Colorado Dept. of Public Health & Environment (S4:E32)
Last week, the federal government took a final step toward making the Pfizer COVID vaccine available to adolescents in the U.S. when the CDC formally recommended the vaccine for use in children ages 12 to 15. The approval of the vaccine for our adolescent patients is exciting. It also presents a unique opportunity for us, as pediatricians, to spend time engaging with families to address their questions and share our confidence in this vaccine. In this episode, we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Eric France, Chief Medical Officer at the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment.

Managing Button Battery & Other Foreign Body Ingestions with David Brumbaugh, MD (Rebroadcast S3:E39)
Today we are joining Trainees for Child Injury Prevention (T4CIP) for their Day of Action in bringing attention to high-powered magnet injuries in kids and teens. T4CIP is a group of pediatricians and medical trainees from across the country who are passionate about childhood injury prevention. High-powered magnets have caused thousands of injuries and are considered to be among the most dangerous ingestion hazards in children. Calls to Poison Centers about High-Powered Magnets Increased by 444% after Ban Lifted We encourage you to join this national collaboration by posting messages on social media throughout today (May 19, 2021) using #MagnetSafety and participating in a Twitter chat at 1-2 p.m. ET using the same hashtag. Kids are notorious for exploring small objects and putting them up their nose, in their ear or swallowing them. Some ingestions like button batteries and small, b-b sized magnets are potentially life-threatening for children and adolescents. Catastrophic and fatal injuries can occur when the object becomes lodged in the esophagus, where injury can extend beyond the esophagus to the trachea or aorta. In this episode, we are going to turn the mic on host, David Brumbaugh, MD, to look at the presentation and treatment of ingested foreign objects and the anticipatory guidance primary care providers can give to their patients and families. What our listeners may not know about Dr. Brumbaugh is that he has a job beyond co-hosting Charting Pediatrics; he is a pediatric gastroenterologist and Chief Medical Officer at Children’s Hospital Colorado and is Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Resident Files: Improving Care for Medically Complex Young Adults (S4:E31) with Michelle Brajcich, MD, Sam Robin, MD & Hannah Friedman, MD
Complex patients are increasingly common in primary care and often have poor clinical outcomes. Barriers within our healthcare system challenge effective care for complex patients within our hospital systems, but less is known about the potential impact and meaning of caring for complex patients on a daily basis for primary care providers (PCPs). Today, we are going to talk about improving care for medically complex young adults, including their experiences of health system barriers and facilitators and their strategies to enhance provision of effective care. In our series, the Resident Files, we explore efforts of Children's Hospital Colorado and CU School of Medicine pediatric residents to examine the social determinants of health that impact the patients they see in primary care clinic and how all pediatric providers can make considerations for these impacts in their own practice. Our guests for this Resident File episode are Dr. Michelle Brajcich, PGY3; Dr. Samantha Robin PGY2 and Dr. Hannah Friedman PGY2.

The Pandemic & Pediatrics: An Update on Vaccines, Variants and Schools with Jessica Cataldi, MD, Sam Dominguez, MD and Sean O'Leary, MD (S4:E30)
Join Dr. Brumbaugh and the Children's Colorado ID Team on May 13 at 6 p.m. MST for the next COVID-19 Provider Town Hall, featuring live Q&A, Register now: https://bit.ly/2RoiezA It has been almost a month since Pfizer requested to expand use of its COVID-19 vaccine to adolescents ages 12 to 15. The request asks the Food and Drug Administration to amend their vaccine’s emergency use authorization, which the FDA originally granted late last year for people ages 16 and up. Meanwhile, our colleagues in Michigan are seeing record numbers of hospitalized pediatric patients, creating a greater sense of anticipation and urgency for the vaccine’s approval down to age 12. In this episode we will delve into vaccines, variants, schools and more as we examine the latest impacts the pandemic has had on pediatrics. Today we are fortunate to be joined once again by un-official Charting Pediatrics co-host, Dr. Sam Dominguez. And not only is Sam with us, but we have the expertise of returning Infectious Diseases experts Dr. Sean O’Leary and Dr. Jessica Cataldi.
