Pediatric practitioners care for children with a wide range of neurological disorders, but a lack of extensive training in these conditions can make managing and treating them challenging. The Practical Pediatric Neuroscience Symposium was created to enhance knowledge of common and uncommon pediatric neurological conditions, with the goal of helping providers improve care for children with these conditions.
The third annual symposium, held on May 21, 2022, at Dell Children’s Medical Center, featured presentations by 10 Dell Medical School faculty members within the Pediatric Neurosciences Program. Topics ranged from primary care issues in neuromuscular disease to behavioral pain management for pediatric headache. Each interactive presentation provided specific techniques and evidence-based recommendations for diagnosis and management, including the roles of interprofessional teams in improving quality of life and treatment outcomes.
