ForwardSRC's 24th Annual Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics: Topics for Primary Care (JS2303B)
This full-day, in-person conference will address emerging challenges in developmental-behavioral care faced by pediatric primary care professionals. In the past, as many as 40% of primary care visits included developmental or behavioral concerns. Currently, there continues to be an increasing need for developmentally-appropriate behavioral and mental health care, so the percentage of primary care visits for these issues is also increasing. Course faculty will update participants about new developments in the field and provide information to enhance providers’ confidence in the identification and management of developmental, behavioral, and mental health conditions. The program will utilize live PowerPoint presentations with live Q&A and feature opportunities to apply knowledge in clinical situations through interactive case-based learning and facilitated discussions among participants. Ample time will be allowed for discussion between the audience and the faculty.
