Clinical Applications

Objectives of the Course

The objective of this course is to ensure that students can conduct well-child care (growth and development monitoring, nutrition, and immunization) in accordance with established standards, from the neonatal period through the end of adolescence. Additionally, the course aims to equip students with the skills to approach pediatric care from a preventive medicine perspective by learning the symptomatology of common acute and chronic diseases in childhood, age-specific physical examination techniques, and diagnostic and treatment algorithms.
