Overview
Boston Children’s Hospital is excited to announce our first-ever collaborative event. “Advances in Pediatric Healthcare” and “Shamberger’s Frontiers in Pediatric Surgery” are teaming up to bridge pediatrics with a fully packed two-day event featuring cutting-edge lectures, interactive group discussions, and special guest speakers.
About the courses
This collaborative 2-day course is designed the enhance the knowledge and competence of physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and other health care providers in managing common primary care and surgical concerns seen in every day practice. After attending the course, attendees will have a better understanding of how to diagnose common pediatric conditions from both a surgical and medical perspective, and when to refer to specialty care.
