Overview

In a case-based format, participants will identify the most pressing questions primary care doctors have regarding obesity, immunizations, and allergic diseases. We will address common concerns and evidence-based management strategies, while emphasizing the importance of early intervention and preventive care. In addition, participants will learn best practices in communication and collaboration with pediatric subspecialists that can improve patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify practical strategies for primary care practitioners in assessing and managing pediatric patients with obesity and allergic diseases
  • Summarize current pediatric vaccination schedules and updates recommended by national and international health authorities
  • Identify evidence-based communication strategies (e.g., motivational interviewing, presumptive language) to address parental concerns about vaccines
  • Outline best practices for communication and collaboration between primary care providers and specialists to improve outcomes for pediatric patients with obesity and allergic diseases
