The Pediatricians’ Title V CSCHN Institute
 

The Pediatricians’ Title V CSCHN Institute trains approximately 30 selected pediatricians each year about the Title V program for children with special health care needs (CSHCN). The goal of the Institute is to interest pediatricians in becoming directly involved in the Title V CSHCN program in their home state and provide them with practical information on how to do so. Participants will also learn how to better advocate and care for children with special needs in their community.

Each year pediatricians that need to learn about their State Title V CSHCN Program and/or those interested in taking on a more active role if given background information, particularly in regard to legislation and communication are solicited to attend. Travel, lodging, meals, and registration expenses are covered for the selected pediatrician’s.

Under the leadership of Antoinette P. Eaton, MD, the first "The Power of the Pediatrician" Institute was held in June 1992. Due to the tremendous success of this Institute and to the Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s commitment to strengthen and maintain leadership capabilities for key policy-making staff in state CSHCN programs, the Institute has become a regular offering. The Pediatricians’ Institute is sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and funding for the Institute is made possible by the US Federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau.

The last Institute was held in Chicago, IL on May 17-18, 2003. For additional information on Title V, you can access AMCHP's manual for the next generation of Title V leaders which provides an overview of the Title V block grant history, administrative know-how and tips for success from MCH leaders.
