2026 AAENP National Conference: EmergNP

Pediatric rashes are a common emergency department complaint, but distinguishing a benign illness from a life-threatening condition can be challenging. Through real-world case studies, this session will provide a practical framework for evaluating pediatric rashes by integrating history, physical examination findings, illness progression, and risk factors—not just pattern recognition. You'll leave with evidence-based strategies to identify high-risk "can't miss" conditions, avoid common diagnostic pitfalls, make confident disposition decisions, and provide effective caregiver education.
