Virtual Curbside

In this episode of The Virtual Curbside, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP, is joined by Kristine Fortin, MD. Listen in to the discussion on what is best when providing care for children in foster care with unique challenges. This week, we discuss how often these children should be seen and how to tailor visits using a trauma-informed approach. We explore when it’s appropriate to involve children in their treatment planning, and when their age or developmental stage may limit participation. Many foster youth are meeting a new healthcare provider for the first time and may have limited understanding of their own health - making trust and thoughtful communication essential.
