An Advanced Course in Managing Complex Pediatric Feeding Disorders
Conference Description To benefit our community, we offer this educational conference to general practitioners on common neurological concerns they may be approached with, and provide them with the tools and recommendations to help their families. Often times, our community practitioners inform us when it comes to neurological complaints, they have little background/training to provide initial work-up or recommendations; hence, the aim of this all-day symposium is to address this very issue. In addition, pediatricians know their families very well, and families often turn to them for their opinion in terms of what to do. This will empower pediatricians to provide comprehensive care in their practice. Who Should Attend Pediatricians, Family Practitioners, Pediatric Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Residents and Fellows in Pediatrics in Orange County and its neighboring southern Los Angeles county and Inland Empire area of Southern California are invited to attend. Discipline-Specific Presentations Include Sleep Disorders Autism Panel: Learning Disorders & Regional Services Headaches Abnormal Head Sizes and Shapes Concussion Epilepsy 101 CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to: Evaluate and manage some of the most common pediatric neurologic conditions seen in your practice. Order appropriate diagnostic test(s), such that these results are available to neurology during initial consultation to review results with families. Counsel patients about common neurological problems to ease parental/familial anxiety when faced with a neurological chief complaint Appropriately refer to neurology or other subspecialist for timely interventional care.
