This webinar is free to SENTAC members and only $25 for non-members.
  This 1-hour course will present approaches from two different hospital systems on feeding tube weaning in medically complex children.  During this live webinar, panelists from a variety of disciplines will discuss how feeding tube weaning is approached in their clinic and provide a model for an interdisciplinary pathway toward full oral feeding for children with tube dependence. Participants will have opportunities to ask questions and engage in discussion.
