Description

Making an accurate diagnosis when caring for an ill child is always a challenge! We use labs and x-rays when needed...but don’t want to put the child through unnecessary bloodwork or procedures.  So, how do we know when diagnostics are needed...and what should be ordered?  Maria will go through a systematic approach to pediatric x-rays...red flags, when to order, and evaluating. She will also present the most common labs we use in pediatrics, using a systematic approach. This course is a must for all pediatric clinicians!
