pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and prevention of these common pediatric
conditions. Teaching strategies consist of lectures, small group discussions, video
showing and interactive sessions.

At the end of this course students should be able to construct a thorough history
and physical examination and manage pediatric diseases.
