Offered in conjunction with The France Foundation, this program will cover many of the common difficulties and recommended approaches for dealing with pediatric GHD as offered by our expert panel.
Through this program, you will learn:
- How to review the safety and efficacy data of the rhGH therapies available for the management of GHD in pediatric patients;
- Proper assessment of novel and emerging rhGH agents and clinical implications for management of GHD in pediatric patients; and
- The importance and clinical implications of adherence to rhGH therapy in GHD in pediatric patients.
This course includes the recording of a recent webinar held on May 26 and an interactive online module. Each activity is available for credit following completion of an evaluation.
This educational initiative is intended for pediatric and general endocrinologists, family physicians, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who are managing pediatric patients with GHD.
