The purpose of this online course is to provide a comprehensive and scientific approach to evaluate and manage common emergency presentations seen in the community setting. The course will discuss recommendations on management by general practitioners, based on current guidelines and evidence-based medicine. We will use an active learning approach through live interactive sessions, assignments, and discussions. Faculty includes experts from the US, UK, Australia and Pakistan, from both Pediatrics and Family Medicine.
