The mini-MINDS Special Interest Group (SIG) aims to advance knowledge, foster future research, and provide education regarding delirium and the cognitive, behavioral, and psychological recovery of pediatric patients following critical illness.
This Pediatric SIG is an official group affiliated with the American Delirium Society (ADS). Our primary objective is to disseminate information about delirium in Pediatrics and foster a community of professionals with a shared interest in advancing this subject.
