Activity Overview 

This webinar is focused on discussing new literature on the use of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the pediatric population. Recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals of both agents and dosage forms have created questions about which agents are optimal for use in which patient populations. This webinar will present the most up-to-date information and include clinical pearls and case-based application to engage attendees and provide tangibile clinical takeaways for practical use of these agents.
