"Recognition and Management of Common Neurosurgical Conditions in the Pediatric Practice"

Pediatric Neurosurgery CME Course, December 8, 2010

This one-day CME course was designed to educate pediatricians and nurse practitioners about the common signs and symptoms of disorders that may need further evaluation by a pediatric neurosurgeon. Attendees learned how to recognize these infrequent occurrences in the midst of a busy pediatric practice, how best to triage, when to image, and when to send the child to an emergency room.
