80047667 - 46th Annual Pediatric Trends

Tuesday, April 30, 2019, 7:30 AM - Friday, May 3, 2019, 11:45 AM EST, Turner


Pediatric medicine is evolving on a daily basis and it can be difficult for a general pediatric practitioner to remain up-to-date on new standards of care, therapies, and medications. The goal of this course is to fulfill the need in the practicing pediatric community to increase and improve competence in the field of pediatric medicine and to integrate best practices based on evidence-based medicine and current research. Dr. Ngo reached out to division leaders to discuss potential topics related to their subspecialty that may be of particular interest to the general practitioner. This will assist in closing the gap between community and academic medicine.
