VitalTalk Presents: PedsTalk
Serious illness conversations in pediatrics are uniquely complex — balancing honesty, hope, and compassion with children and families facing some of life’s hardest moments. VitalTalk helps clinicians build the confidence and skills to navigate these conversations with clarity and empathy.
Through evidence-based teaching and experiential learning, our pediatric communication offerings support clinicians in fostering trust, strengthening relationships with families, and aligning care with what matters most. Explore current and upcoming opportunities to grow your skills with our live PedsTalk course and asynchronous offerings.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our PedsTalk pilot on November 12 & 14. Due to high demand and overwhelmingly positive feedback, we’re are working on planning additional offerings for 2026. Stay tuned for updates.
Want to bring PedsTalk directly to your team? Book a private course to strengthen communication skills and spark culture change across your pediatric department or institution.
Created for Pediatric Clinicians, by Pediatrics Clinicians
PedsTalk was developed by experienced pediatric clinicians who understand the realities of caring for children and families in high-stakes moments. Every scenario, skill, and strategy in the course is grounded in real-world practice—reflecting the complexity, and emotional weight you face every day. Our faculty bring deep expertise, lived clinical experience, and a shared commitment to helping clinicians like you communicate with confidence.
