(M10) Transition Group Education Classes in Pediatrics: Learn the Skills Necessary for Adult Care

Transitional clinic group classes promote independence, equity, and self-sufficiency through education for pediatric patients moving to adult care. The classes teach personal responsibility with the goal of transitioning from in-depth multidisciplinary care to self-reliant care successfully, by the patient's own accord. Attendance in this age group is a challenge; however, when patients do attend, proven positive outcomes are obtained through self-reported survey data. This presentation will include the informational materials included in the transition clinic, survey data feedback results, along with the current challenges and the steps for combating these challenges for the future.
