2026 Orthopedic Education Series

Occurs monthly on the 3rd Wednesday starting on 1/21/2026 at 7:00 AM
Wednesday, January 21, 2026, 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM, Kansas City, MO

The Orthopedics Department at Children’s Mercy routinely cares for pediatric patients with both common and rare orthopedic disorders and injuries. Healthcare personnel, like nurses, physicians, and fellows, need to be knowledgeable about standard care, emerging treatments, and ongoing research, to be able to provide first-rate patient care with optimal patient outcomes.

A series of topics will be presented during this series that will enhance the knowledge of all orthopedic staff. These topics will allow interdisciplinary learning in the presentation and application in the clinical setting. The topics provide participants with broad knowledge about pediatric orthopedic injuries and conditions as well as specific new treatments and trends seen for common diagnoses.
