Paediatric Emergency Medicine: An Evidence-Based Approach Media: DVD 1 IN STOCK Cat.# AMS-6D $430.00 BUY

Colour Syllabus with More Than 100 Textbook-Like Quality Images!

OVERALL OBJECTIVES: The overall objective is to provide the participant with practical and clinically relevant information. Upon completion of this CME activity, the physician or healthcare provider should be able to describe the current approach to formulating differential diagnoses, diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive management of the various disciplines presented.

NEEDS STATEMENT: The specialties of Paediatrics and Paediatric Emergency Medicine impact most Primary Care practices and Emergency Departments daily. Judicious Use of Antibiotics is a goal for most practitioners since resistance continues to be on the rise yet many common infections are being treated too early with antibiotics. Recent new evidence-based studies reveal that the over-use of antibiotics, and resultant drug resistance, also mandate current knowledge of these topics when treating the Febrile Infant and Toddler. Further, there are new thoughts and approaches to the patient in pain and commonly seen presentations of Cardiac Disease, Orthopaedic Injuries and Visual Diagnostic Dilemmas in general also warrant a review and update. Therefore, Primary Care Providers nationally, have a need to review and update their knowledge in these topics presented. These updates will help to maintain the level of knowledge required to keep abreast of current and prudent practice in medicine.
