25th Annual Pediatric Trends

SENIOR HOUSE STAFF

Program:
This course has been designed to fill the current needs of physicians interested in the care of infants, children and adolescents. For the 25th consecutive year, this course is being given by the staff of the Children=s Medical and Surgical Center of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to provide a review of those recent advances in the biomedical and behavioral sciences which will have an impact upon the health and medical care of children from fetal life through adolescence. Special attention is devoted to those "Objectives for Recent Advances" and "Objectives for Annual Review" as proposed educational objectives of the PREP program of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The course combines lectures in pediatric science, clinical demonstrations, conferences and symposia. A problem-oriented approach is emphasized. Ample time has been planned to allow for questions and discussion. Numerous luncheons, coffee breaks and a social event have been arranged so that registrants and faculty may have an opportunity to exchange ideas in informal surroundings. A syllabus with bibliography will be distributed to provide a permanent record of the course.
