At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to take an active, effective role in the care of the growth and development of children and adolescents. They will behave ethically and professionally to protect the health of patients in these age groups and refer them promptly to a specialist in case of abnormal situations beyond their professional competence. Course aims will be achieved through bibliographic research, discussions with problematized clinical cases, group sharing experiences, collaborative work, outpatient consultation practices and duty shifts.
