The AAP is engaged in the 5-year CDC-funded grant Improving Clinical and Public Health Outcomes for Infants and Children with Birth Defects and Infant Disorders (BDID) and Their Families in Disproportionately Affected Communities, and one of the program objectives is to build knowledge and capacity among physicians and non-physician clinicians to address gaps that impact equitable access to comprehensive and coordinated services for families living with BDID in disproportionately affected communities. The AAP will be planning and facilitating a virtual rural-health community of practice (COP) with cohorts of up to 9 rural practices, hospitals or federally qualified health centers each year of the project. The COP will be focused on practical strategies for improving care for children living with BDID and their families. The activity will include the conditions of focus (CS and cCMV) as much as possible. Knowing the limited capacity of rural and community-based practices, a COP provides an opportunity for peer-to-peer learning and sharing of best practices/strategies with a lower level of burden on participants. As part of the COP, brief didactic presentations will be shared monthly, followed by a case-based discussion or a sharing of best practices related to caring for children with BDID among COP participants. In addition, an online shared workspace will be provided to participants to post resources and best practices.
