Check out this amazing course at Kansas University Medical Center GI. I’ve never seen a small course with such density of experts from around the world. I really think if you had one course to rub elbows with giants….This is it. kumc.edu/institute-for-commu…

Wonderful talk by @MaisamHaijaMD about post acute pancreatitis risk of Diabetes and Genetic mutations associations. Risk of DM post AP in children can be 20 times higher than gen population 🤯 #screen @CincyChildrens @CincyKidsGastro @NatPancFdn #PancreasFest2025

I am so proud of @NASPGHAN and the Public Policy and Advocacy Committee for leading the way in a multi-organizational effort that led to this critically important decision on behalf of children!! Wonderful work!!
Press release from just last week - the US Court of Appeals upheld fed safety standards regulating high-powered magnets 🧲. Many societies including @NASPGHAN played a big role with advocacy leading to this decision!! #forthekids #safetyfirst 🧒👏👏tinyurl.com/mt2atnyx

Because of pediatric-scientists many children now survive leukemia and extreme premature birth, they thrive in the face of previously debilitating chronic disease, and some genetic and infectious diseases have been cured. This decision will cripple the future of child health.2/2
