The Brendon's Smile Foundation understands the value of education and how increased knowledge can improve the lives of children and families impacted by strokes. We have partnered with the Washington University School of Medicine, Division of Pediatric & Developmental Neurology to educate doctors and medical professionals through the Annual Brendon's Smile Foundation Lectureship Series on Pediatric Stroke. We believe by educating those who serve on the front lines in the pediatric field there can be faster, more accurate diagnoses, treatments and therapies. Also, with this initiative we feel that we can inspire more interest on the topic of pediatric stroke which leads to more research and, eventually, more precise and effective treatments, prevention, and, someday, a cure.
In March 2015, the Brendon's Smile Foundation in colloboration with the Washtingon University School of Medicine was proud to announce the 6th Annual Lecture guest lecturer and pediatric stroke expert was Dr. Michael Rivkin.
Each lecture has been recorded and is accessible by clicking on Brendon's Smile Annual Lectureship Series.
We are proud to announce that in 2014 we added to the initiative of the Brendon's Smile Foundation CME Online Credits through the Washington University School of Medicine Online CME website. Now physicians can not only access the lecture but receive Continuing Medical Education credits for viewing the 4th Annual Lecture by Dr. Adam Kirton titled "Perinatal Stroke: Black Boxes and Brighter Directions" and the 5th Annual Lecture by Dr. Heather Fullerton titled "Infetcion and Stroke in Little Folks".
For those users who want CME credit, they’ll register/login here https://cme-online.wustl.edu/.
Once in the website click on "Course Catalog", then to "CME Credit Courses", and next to "Pediatrics" to access the lecture.
