80067781 - 51st Annual Pediatric Trends

Tuesday, May 13, 2025, 8:00 AM - Friday, May 16, 2025, 6:00 PM, Online


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. The Activity Director reached out to Division leaders to discuss potential topics related to their subspecialty that may be of particular interest to the general pediatric practitioner. This will assist in closing the gap between community and academic medicine. Reasons to refer to a tertiary care center will also be discussed.

5. Identify new diagnosis and management strategies for Sickle Cell Disease.
