This course is designed for advanced practice providers who desire to enhance their clinical decision-making skills and expertise regarding pediatric differential diagnosis and patient management. Through a series of case study presentations, participants will engage in discussions to effectively identify, evaluate, and manage challenging presentations in pediatric patients.

The complexity of caring for a pediatric patient focusing on subtle symptoms, identification of red flags, and the impact of developmental stages will be included. In addition, this course will include a discussion of appropriate clinical guidelines and evidence-based management strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
