The transition from pediatric to adult medicine (“transition”) is a particularly sensitive phase for patients with rare chronic diseases. A successful transition is crucial to ensure continuity of medical care, prevent therapy interruptions, and secure both the long-term prognosis and quality of life for those affected. This training provides an overview of possible pitfalls, proven concepts, and practical approaches that help physicians accompany the transition process successfully.
The live talk will take place on October 13, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. as a 90-minute, interactive live webinar on the STREAMED UP video platform. The State Medical Association of Hesse is awarding 2 CME points for participation. To receive these points, please log in for participation via the Streamed-Up platform.
