This year, we celebrate the hospitality 

and heritage of the American south in 

New Orleans October 20–23 at the American 

Academy of Pediatrics 2012 National 

Conference & Exhibition. The program will

medical education event and technical 

exhibition, we offer unparalleled social, 

networking and philanthropic opportunities,

Every conference is as unique as the city we’re 

in, and this year is no different. Moved by 

our mission, “the health and well-being of all 

children,” we’ll address child health inequities 

in a special conference track, beginning with 

our pre-conference PEDS 21 signature event 

on Friday, October 19. 

So, come on down! Asssemble your krewe 

and enjoy the lagniappe (a little something 

extra) this fall as the people behind the art, 

music, food, culture. and conference treat 

you to the ultimate southern hospitality.

P2065 T New Insights on 

Racial Disparities in Birth 

Outcomes 

James Collins, MD, MPH, FAAP 

This presentation will review the 

history and current status of racial 

disparities in infant outcomes. The 

many factors that contribute to this 

disparity will be identified, with an 

emerging perspective on why shortterm 

strategies to address these 

factors have had little impact, and 

where our efforts need to be directed 

in the future. 

10:50am–11:10am 

P2066 T Transforming 

Communities to Improve 

School Readiness 

Neal Halfon, MD, MPH, FAAP 

By integrating health care, child 

care and early education, and family 

support systems, the Transforming 

Early Childhood Community Systems 

program is a research-based effort 

to build collective responsibility and 

action by community stakeholders 

to enhance early brain and child 

development and prepare children for 

success by the time they enter kindergarten. 

This developmentally sound 

community development initiative 

applies teacher assessment of children’s 

development, community asset 

mapping, and community organizing. 

This plenary session will provide you 

the opportunity to gain knowledge of 

this project and the use of collaborative 

innovation networks. 

11:10am–11:30am 

P2067 The Surgeon General’s

We Doing 

This session will provide an update 

on our national progress in achieving 

the breastfeeding objectives laid out 

in the 2011 Surgeon General’s Call 

to Action and Healthy People 2020 

and identify how pediatric providers 

can advocate for change within their 

hospitals, practices, and communities 

to improve breastfeeding initiation 

and continuation rates, as well 

as exclusive breastfeeding rates. 

11:30am–11:50am 

P2068 Preparing For 

ICD-10-CM 

Jeffrey Linzer, MD, FACEP, FAAP 

Faculty will provide an overview of 

ICD-10-CM and provide suggestions 

for efficient practice implementation 

of the new nomenclature. Highlights 

on ICD-11 “coming attractions” will 

also be addressed. 

11:50am–12:10pm 

P2069 T Intrauterine 

Determinants of Obesity 

Emily Oken, MD 

The obesity epidemic has spared 

no segment of the population, even 

infants and young children. This 

presentation will review the role of 

experiences in early life, even before 

birth, in contributing to risk for childhood 

obesity, and identify factors 

that may be targeted for prevention 

in pediatric practice.

Monday Plenary Sessions 

10:30 am – 12:15 pm 

10:30am–10:50am 

P3065 Molecular Informed 

Therapy for Pediatric Disease 

Bruce Korf, MD, FAAP 

The ability to sequence the human 

genome and to identify the underlying 

genetic alterations in disease 

has allowed us to understand the 

underlying molecular mechanisms in 

many pediatric diseases. This has 

now resulted in the development of 

molecularly informed medical therapies 

for several types of cancer and 

the initiation of clinical trials for many 

previously untreatable conditions, 

including neurofibromatosis 1, fragile 

X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, and 

Down syndrome. 

10:50am–11:10am 

P3066 Whole Genome 

Sequencing and the Future 

of Pediatrics 

James Evans, MD 

As technology improves and costs 

decrease, whole genome sequencing 

is moving from the research lab 

to patient use. This session will give 

busy pediatricians a framework for 

understanding the concept of whole 

genome sequencing and what it will 

mean for their patients. Specific 

examples of where this process has 

resulted in diagnosis and specific 

treatment and the types of patients 

who would be best helped with this 

type of testing when it is available will 

be detailed. 

11:10am–11:30am 

P3067 Life Trauma and 

PTSD in Children: What 

Is a Pediatrician to Do 

Charles Zeanah, MD 

Children who have experienced 

abuse/neglect, natural disasters, 

parental military deployment, and 

other events that disrupt their lives 

need to be monitored so that supportive 

care can be provided and 

therapeutic intervention be initiated 

when mental health issues such as 

post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 

emerge. Knowing the warning signs 

and red flags for these issues and 

treatment options are critical in helping 

children through traumatic periods 

of their lives and helping them to 

move forward on a healthy developmental 

trajectory. 

11:30am–11:50am 

P3068 Overprescription of Acid- 

Suppressing Drugs in Infants 

and Children: A Risky Business 

Eric Hassall, MD 

This plenary will address the overuse 

of acid suppressant drugs for 

symptoms purported to be those of 

gastroesophageal (GE) reflux disease. 

Evidence showing the benefits of acidsuppressing 

drugs in GE reflux disease 

will be presented, as will evidence 

showing potential risks of these drugs. 

The issue of overprescription will focus 

primarily on the infant age group. 

11:50am–12:10pm 

P3069 The Gut Microbiome in 

Health and Disease—You Are 

Who You Live With! 

Philip Sherman, MD 

This session will describe the role of 

the gut microbiome in human health 

and disease. Factors affecting the composition 

of the gut microbiome, including 

the role of breastfeeding, diet, and 

use of antibiotics, will be highlighted. 

The future potential to manipulate the 

host’s gut microbiome to prevent or 

treat diseases will be addressed. 

12:10pm–12:30pm 

P3064 All’s Fair: Love, War 

and Politics 

One of America’s best-loved political 

couples—James Carville and Mary 

Matalin—give audiences an enlightening 

and entertaining look at today’s 

most important political issues as 

well as a behind-the-scenes look at 

politics inside Washington and how 

today’s headlines are playing out 

around the country.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION 

New Orleans Tourism 

Indulge your senses, savor New Orleans’ rich cultural experience and celebrate everything that even 

after 203 years of the greatest achievements and the steepest challenges still makes New Orleans 

America’s most unique, authentic and enthralling destination. Find out what’s family-friendly and 

affordable; there’s something for everyone on every budget at www.aapexperience.org/nola. 

Here, in this little corner of the American 

South, where European traditions blend with 

Caribbean influences, the history is as colorful as 

the local architecture; the food is the stuff of legend. 

Haitian and African Creoles developed an exotic, 

spicy cuisine and were instrumental in creating jazz 

and Cajun Zydeco. The street names are French and 

Spanish, the Creole architecture comes in a carnival 

of tropical colors, and the voodoo is a Caribbean 

import. The magic is irresistible. 

Almost anything in the Big Easy becomes a 

celebration! LAISSEZ LE BONS TEMPS ROULER— 

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL harkens back to New 

Orleans’ French heritage, a way of life that began 

three centuries ago and remains today. 

New Orleans is many things …The Crescent City 

…a sportsman’s paradise … the birthplace of 

Jazz … a sensory overload with an authentic 

spirit. Come and experience the most celebrated 

and historic core of the city – including the 

Faubourg Marigny, French Quarter, Central 

Business District, Warehouse and Arts District, 

Magazine Street corridor, Garden District, and the 

beautiful St. Charles Avenue, lined with shady 

oaks, stately homes and historic mansions 

… a place like no other.
