Pediatric Foundations

This online continuing medical education course was designed for BC Health Care providers that care for children, youth, and their families. It was designed in partnership by UBC CPD and Child Health BC.

This module provides a comprehensive overview of the principles that make up patient-centered and family-focused care as they apply to pediatric patients. Through interactive case studies, rich media, and practical advice, this course highlights the crucial differences between caring for adults and children, guides learners through the components of a complete pediatric physical assessment, and demonstrates how to calculate safe medication dosing for children. Special attention is paid to the concepts that guide culturally sensitive and trauma-informed practice.

As this course is housed outside of the LearningHub it will not automatically track completion.

Participants are encouraged to save the certificate of completion for their records.
