The Future of Pediatrics is a long‑standing continuing education conference presented by Children’s National and the Pediatric Health Network. Designed to support community‑based primary care pediatricians and their practice teams, the conference focuses on enhancing the quality of care provided to children through practical, clinically relevant education.

Established more than 25 years ago, this annual program combines didactic sessions with opportunities for presenters and participants to share real‑world experiences, tools, and strategies for the evaluation and management of pediatric patients in office and community settings. Conference topics are thoughtfully selected to address the evolving needs of pediatric care, with an emphasis on actionable approaches that can be readily applied to everyday clinical practice.

In addition to clinical content for pediatric providers, the conference also offers a dedicated series of sessions for practice administrators, supporting the advancement of high‑quality pediatric care across both clinical and operational domains.
