This live course will include lectures, hands-on workshops, interactive question and answer sessions, that aim to provide an overview of pediatric musculoskeletal conditions and sports-related injuries that are commonly encountered by healthcare providers who care for children and adolescents. This course aims to provide a comprehensive learning experience that will improve providers’ knowledge, skills, and competence in managing specific conditions. In addition, participants can look forward to learning about our multidisciplinary approach to managing pediatric musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions through evidence-based practices.
Objectives
Apply new knowledge in the identification of common pediatric musculoskeletal conditions and in basic evaluation and management.
Refine the way I work with different healthcare professionals based on an improved understanding of their scope of practice, including physicians, nurses, PAs/NPs, physical and occupational therapists, and athletic trainers; and apply strategies for fostering more effective communication channels to better facilitate referrals between healthcare professionals which optimize patient care and experience.
Apply improved competence in recognizing communication deficits in interprofessional healthcare team and develop and implement communication strategies in real-time to enhance team-based approaches in pediatric musculoskeletal care.
Use a continuous learning plan designed during the course to assist me in remaining current with evolving guidelines and practices in pediatric musculoskeletal and sports medicine.
