Register for SHIP-MD Virtual Workshop
February 9, 10 & 11, 2021
All stakeholders interested in pediatric medical device development are invited to a dynamic 3-day virtual public workshop developed and guided by a multi-stakeholder group including the Critical Path Institute (C-Path), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), AdvaMed, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and leaders of pediatric health systems.
We welcome your input and feedback as we refine the strategic framework titled the System of Hospitals for Innovation in Pediatrics – Medical Devices (SHIP-MD), proposed to accelerate medical device development for the unique needs of children.
Currently in a pre-consortium state, SHIP-MD is looking to workshop attendees to provide input on a comprehensive strategic plan that has been developed by key stakeholders. SHIP-MD is intended to incentivize investment and innovation in the pediatric medical device market and to improve public health for children.
What to expect:
- Day 1: The plenary sessions will provide background and an overview of SHIP-MD, along with an introduction to days 2 and 3 interactive sessions focused on the five key Workstreams: Navigation, Finance, Hospitals, Regulatory, Reimbursement.
- Days 2 and 3: In-depth breakout sessions for each Workstream including focused presentations, Q&A and time for community feedback.
Use the links in the schedule below to register and add sessions to your calendar. For Day 2 and 3, each workstream session is available at two times to make for more convenient scheduling.
