TSRH's Pediatric Orthopedic Education Series (EM2207B)

This webinar will review common musculoskeletal pathologies with an emphasis on virtual demonstrations for preforming a pediatric orthopedic examination. These new skills will enable the practitioner to perform a detailed musculoskeletal examination, and combine that information with additional musculoskeletal learning to diagnose and either treat or refer the patient to a qualified pediatric orthopedist.

Target Audience

This is a seminar for pediatricians, family practitioners, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses and allied health professionals.

Learning Objectives

Recognize pediatric orthopedic conditions requiring immediate referral for evaluation and intervention and those which may safely be managed in the primary care provider' office.
Employ pediatric orthopaedic examination skills and apply improved diagnostic skills towards the management of common orthopaedic problems that present to the pediatrician and/or family practitioners
Employ improved diagnostic skills to identify/evaluate chronic pediatric orthopedic conditions including neuromuscular conditions (e.g. spina bifida or cerebral palsy) or other common extremity differences (e.g. congenital hand pathology or limb length difference).
