Welcome to “Mini Mysteries: Pediatric Cases” a TeamPedsTalks podcast series from the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.

In this podcast series we explore unique clinical casesacross the spectrum of pediatric care. Our host for this series is Dan Crawford, DNP, ARNP, CPNP-PC, CNE, FAANP, NAPNAP immediate past president. In each episode, we'll tell the story of cases that aren’t always what they appear to be at first glance and explore from the point of clinical presentation,decision making, and the final diagnosis. But there’s a catch, Dan as the host doesn’t know any details about the case at the time of recording, so we are investigating this together. We invite you into these stories as an interactive experience and encourage you to ask your own questions toward solving the cases as they unfold.

Our guest for this episode is Scott Meskimen, MSN, CPNP-PC,PMHS.  Scott is a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in private primary care practice and serving as the Chair of the PNCB Board of Directors. He works diligently to advance the health of children and families through developing office staff, recognizing gaps in care such as emergency preparedness and breast feeding while delivering evidence-based care to patients. He pursued Pediatric Primary Care Mental Health Specialist (PMHS) certification because his clinic and community struggled to meet this need.
