Harvard Primary Care Pediatrics 2023

MGHfC Pediatric Primary Care Conference 2023

Course Overview

NOVEMBER 29, 2023

Harvard Primary Care Pediatrics 2023 This course is designed for clinicians and health professionals who provide service to infants, children and adolescents. Subject matter will be presented to the entire group in didactic lectures, panel discussions and brief management problems. These will be followed by question and answer periods. The practice of general pediatrics requires a large knowledge base covering many areas of practice. Keeping up to date is a challenge. Using the yearly course evaluations, we determine the topic areas most needed by clinicians. We aim to present state-of-the-art information that pediatric providers can incorporate into their daily practices.
