Medical Student Conference Details

November 30 - December 2, 2011

Boston, Massachusetts 02116, United States

This intensive, three-day activity is designed for primary healthcare providers who provide service to infants, children and adolescents. At the conclusion of this activity, providers will be able to apply recent clinical, basic science, and epidemiological research to problems encountered in the ambulatory setting. Subject matter will be presented to the entire group in didactic lectures, panel discussions, and brief management problems, followed by question and answer periods. During some sessions, the course breaks into small seminars to explore areas of particular interest. No preregistration is necessary for these seminars. Pediatricians, family medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, physicians assistants and subspecialists who wish to share a concentrated exposure to the current knowledge and art of primary care pediatrics are invited to participate in this activity. 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 pediatricians.
