DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this online course is to provide an outline of a holistic approach to evaluate and manage common Pediatrics problems seen in the primary care practice. The course will discuss recommendations on management by general practitioners (primary care physicians), 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. This program will complement basic trainings and short courses offered in Pakistan for general practitioners to bridge the gap of specialty care, especially for those who are serving in underserved areas.
