Series Overview

This regularly scheduled series was designed for pediatric orthopedic medicine providers across the United States who regularly care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. The Pediatric Orthopedic Medicine Conferences are intended to enhance and expand the health care team's ability to apply research and practice standards to patient care.

Global Objectives

• Improve history-taking questions and physical exam techniques important in clinically evaluating pediatric, adolescent and young-adult patients with musculoskeletal conditions
• Improve their ability to identify normal variants and pathologic conditions on imaging modalities, including x-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound and bone scan
• Improve collective ability to share and discuss variations in care of patients with musculoskeletal conditions across the country, at other institutions and within differing healthcare and cultural environments  
• Describe the roles of pediatric orthopedic physicians and care team members in providing effective patient care as part of an interprofessional and multi-disciplinary team while adapting to meet the needs of the diverse patient populations the team serves.
