developed EPIC in partnership with Connecticut Chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. The goal was to improve children's health by promoting pediatric practice change. EPIC began with a training on developmental screening. Ten years later, EPIC offers 14 free one-hour training topics focused on promoting children's healthy development and improving the delivery of care. Trainings are held over lunch or another convenient time in the comfort of the provider's office. EPIC has successfully helped more than 200 pediatric practices across Connecticut better meet the needs of children.
