The goal of transition care is health optimization and maximizing the life potential of youth. However, there is significant evidence that most young people are not successfully navigating this transfer of care. Barriers to effective transition occur throughout the process. The curriculum for this symposium aims to provide practitioners with an update about new activities and projects geared towards improving pediatric to adult transitions. In addition, aspects of this curriculum were created to provide practitioners with the most up-to-date knowledge about health care guidelines and standards necessary to deliver effective patient care to those patients who require transitional care.

1. Create a collaborative environment to provide opportunity to share best practices.
2. Identify health care transition efforts in order to synergize transitional care across Maryland.
3. Arrange an opportunity to share current work and celebrate collective successes and challenges.
