About Course
The Foundations of Pediatrics Course is a detailed, clinically rich program tailored to help learners develop a strong understanding of child health, growth, and disease management from birth through adolescence. This course emphasizes developmental milestones, pediatric nutrition, common and critical childhood illnesses, and the unique approaches required in pediatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.
With a systems-based and age-appropriate framework, this course includes interactive modules, case-based discussions, developmental charts, and pediatric dosage guides. Learners will gain practical and theoretical skills essential for managing neonates, infants, children, and adolescents in both hospital and community settings.
What Will You Learn?
- By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Understand normal growth, development, and nutritional needs at various pediatric age stages.
- Identify and manage common childhood illnesses and emergencies.
