5 TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Neonatal & Childhood Pulmonary Vascular Disease University of California San Francisco FRIDAY - SATURDAY March 9-10, 2012 San Francisco, California CALL FOR ABSTRACTS SUBMIT BY FEBRUARY 14, 2012

5 TH INTERNATIONAL Neonatal & Childhood Pulmonary Vascular Disease Conference San Francisco, CA Over the past decade, great strides have been made in our understanding of the pathobiology of pulmonary vascular disease, and from these findings new therapeutic options have emerged. It is increasingly clear that pulmonary vascular pathology is integral to a number of childhood disorders. In this symposium, we will bring together international experts to explore our current understanding of the basic pathobiology as well as new and future therapies for neonatal, pediatric, and adult pulmonary vascular diseases. TARGET AUDIENCE Pediatric and Adult Pulmonologists, Cardiology and Critical Care Physicians, Neonatology Physicians, and Advanced Practice Nurses. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES The purpose of this course is to increase competence and improve clinician practice in childhood pulmonary vascular disease. We specifically anticipate improvements in skills and strategies to: recognize the acute presentation and treatment of neonatal and childhood pulmonary hypertensive disease in the ICU setting; apply surgical and interventional approaches to pulmonary vascular disease; discuss nursing aspects particular to the care of neonates, infants, and children with pulmonary vascular disease; diagnosis and treatment of unusual forms of neonatal and childhood pulmonary vascular disease; apply new knowledge of the developmental vascular biology of neonatal pulmonary vascular disease to increase early detection of the pathology in children less than six months of age; utilize established and emerging therapies for neonatal and childhood pulmonary vascular disease and assess the complex pharmacology of selected therapies; recognize and compassionately respond to the family and patient perspective of childhood pulmonary vascular disease; identify prenatal predictors of postnatal lung and vascular hypoplasia. ABSTRACTS Abstract submissions are requested by February 14, 2012. All submissions must adhere to guidelines posted on our website: www.cme.ucsf.edu. All posters should present original, scientific work. Chosen abstracts will be presented in a poster session on March 10 and three submissions will be selected for presentation to the General Session. Registration fees will be waived for top abstracts submitted by young investigators. March 9-10, 2012 ACCREDITATION The University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine (UCSF) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
