” Thankyou for choosing this E learning course which I believe you will find has immense value as a CME and CNE tool. Pediatric critical diagnosis is a skill that can and must belong to a broad range of professions and levels. The clinical challenges in this program have been selected to reflect this. The program crosses the medical and surgical diagnostic spectrum with numerous examples covering also urological, head and neck, trauma, neonatal, NAI and psychological aspects of critical diagnosis.
In modern clinical practise there is an emphasis on investigations and technology. The complexity of this as well time constraints on staff can result in reduced clinical exposure for trainees and critical clinical analysis sometimes gets lost with the “clutter” of technology and the demands of the process.
This program aims in a small way to address that. It is not a didactic teacher but instead will challenge you to think laterally and hopefully make you a much safer clinician. “
