2012 Presbyterian Pediatric Update

This program is designed for pediatricians, family practitioners, emergency room and other physicians and allied health professionals who care for children. It is intended to familiarize healthcare providers with many common or potentially life-threatening conditions that may occur in infants and older children seen in the office, emergency room or inpatient hospital setting.

The annual Presbyterian Pediatric Update was established to provide practicing physicians and allied health practitioners with a reasonably priced opportunity to obtain high quality CME in pediatric and neonatal fields. The nominal registration fees are made possible through funding provided by the Presbyterian Children's Program, the Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation and educational grants from corporate supporters.
