High yield subjects in community pediatrics?


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

I know this can vary from place to place but I am wondering what people think are some of the highest yield subjects to brush up on for community pediatrics (outside of a major teaching center). I start my rotation tomorrow and over the next few weeks I want to become comfortable with the issues that most commonly present. Basically I'm asking what the bread and butter subjects are.

 

Thanks!

I did all my paeds in a teaching centre, but it's important to know the common infections and how to treat them eg bronchiolitis, croup, acute otitis media. As well, know all the causes of fever with a rash, how to distinguish them, and special signs eg Koplik's spots for measles.
