WELCOME AND OBJECTIVES

• Goals of the Learning Collaborative include:

– Connecting pediatric and public health partners.

– Determining what types of education are needed to support improved pediatric preparedness at the state-level.

– Identifying criteria/benchmarks to assess and improve state pediatric preparedness.

• Since H1N1, challenges in pediatric/public health collaborations continue.
