This activity is intended for pediatricians and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of pediatric patients.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Analyze health concerns and key developmental issues in caring for transgender and gender non-conforming youth.
- Integrate gender-affirming language and behaviors into the care of all youth.
- Examine differential diagnosis and review indicators for screening pediatric patients with joint pain.
- Recognize the clinical and histopathologic spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and differentiate between patients who should be screened.
- Describe the limitations of commonly used tests in diagnosing NAFLD and currently available treatment options.
- Distinguish between sickle cell trait, sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies by interpreting a hemoglobin electrophoresis.
- Recognize situations that require special considerations for patients with sickle cell disease.
- Describe how newborn screening is expanding to include complex disorders that do not meet traditional newborn screening criteria and the complex ethical issues surrounding this expansion.
- Distinguish between normal variations in the development of the lower extremity and variations that are pathologic.
