Lead Screening

Lead poisoning continues to contribute to life-long learning and behavior problems for children in Connecticut. Pediatric primary care providers can help alleviate these problems through early identification and follow-up of children with blood lead poisoning.

This training reviews sources of lead to which children are exposed and supports pediatric primary care providers in implementing the current screening, evaluation, management, and treatment requirements of lead poisoning set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Connecticut Department of Public Health. Strategies for addressing health equity and delivering culturally sensitive care are also included.

• Resources and/or referral information
• Billing codes
• 1 CME credit
• Opportunity to earn 25 MOC Part 4 credits
• Meal during the training
