CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION: Keeping up with medical breakthroughs and maintaining physicians' knowledge base can be time-consuming, especially for rare medical conditions that general pediatricians do not manage daily. These patients are generally managed by sub-specialists, which can lead to knowledge gaps. This activity is intended to revisit and provide up-to-date information on disorders affecting growth, bone, and other endocrine disorders. By doing so, we aim to improve medical care for children at risk of bone disorders and prevent their development. Additionally, this activity may serve as a referral resource for our community.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for general pediatricians, pediatric endocrinologists, physician assistants, nurses, medical students, fellows, and residents.
