ForwardSeventeenth International Conference on Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma
Every two years, The National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome has the privilege of hosting some of our industry’s most knowledgeable and impactful leaders and influencers during our conference on Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma. As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve and we hear from physicians, lawyers, families, and public health professionals that their circumstances and/or institutions are not permitting travel for the foreseeable future, it has necessitated a change in plans for the 2020 meeting. Keeping the health and safety of all in mind, we have made the decision to move the 2020 conference to an entirely virtual format. The new format is a two-day, four-hour per day conference to be held on Monday, September 21st and Tuesday, September 22nd. We will continue to offer continuing education credits, and have adjusted to cost of the conference to better align with a virtual format and to more easily accommodate all those who have shown interest in attending.
With all of the unprecedented happenings and concerns around the world, we need information about the prevention, recognition of, and long-standing and life-altering effects regarding SBS/AHT and infant and child abuse more than ever. With this new virtual format, we welcome local and international experts in the field as they present on a variety of impactful topics including legal challenges in SBS/AHT cases, evidence-based and creative prevention programs and initiatives, and the latest medical information and research. We welcome all those interested in learning and being a part of this exciting new format to register.
