VitalTalk Presents: PedsTalk
For children living with serious illness, clinical encounters often represent pivotal moments for patients and families. PedsTalk equips healthcare professionals with a structured framework and practical skills to navigate emotionally charged conversations with families. Through evidence-based techniques, live simulated patient encounters, and small-group coaching, participants gain confidence and competence in delivering compassionate, clear, and family-centered communication.
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.
