Pediatric Update

July 11-14, 2011

Kiawah Island, SC

Our 2011 Pediatric Update promises to be another exciting Course.  We are back to 4 days! Topics this year have been selected by survey of participants in last year’s Course, and by review of  recent advances in the Pediatric literature.  We will cover Pediatric Gastroenterology, Lice and Bedbugs, Genetics for primary care, and a special presentation about how implementing patient-and family-centered care into your practice has been proven to improve the quality of care (MCG Health and the MCG Children’s Medical Center have been recognized as national leaders in Patient and Family Centered Care). Concurrent Breakout Sessions will return, with Dr Bill Lutin presenting his problem cases in pediatric cardiology, (with Dr Bill’s Rhythm Review) and Dr. Chris White’s always popular interactive “Rash Decisions”! We are also pleased to have Dr Jatinder Bhatia, Chair of the AAP Committee on Nutrition presenting “need-to-know” updates on nutrition.  We will also continue to offer  Breakfast Roundtables - small group discussions of problem cases, with each table led by one of our Faculty. Finally, we will have a whole morning dedicated to coding and reimbursement which will more than pay for itself in improving your practice’s bottom line.

The course and completion of both the Pre-test and Post-test, will provide 20.25 hours of CME credit. 
The speakers are nationally and internationally recognized as excellent teachers. Each talk will include time for questions and answers.

Located on the Atlantic Ocean only 21 miles from historic Charleston, Kiawah Island has been developed into one of America’s finest resorts while preserving the environmental richness of its barrier island setting. Kiawah’s natural beauty and bountiful wildlife have been carefully preserved amid golf courses referred to as the “Pebble Beach of the East Coast” and a tennis program ranked among the top 10 in the United States. Ten miles of broad, sparkling beach ranked the Second Most Romantic Beach in America invite you to explore all the opportunities that Kiawah offers for recreation, education and renewal. During free time, you and your family can enjoy the unspoiled beach, large, cool swimming pools and the spa with therapeutic massage, saunas and hot tubs. Golfers will enjoy the challenge of Kiawah’s five championship golf courses. Imagine the thrill of testing your skills on the course that hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup, or walking the course that was the setting for the movie, Bagger Vance. Avid tennis players can easily find a game or a lesson at the two nationally known tennis centers. Parents and kids appreciate well-organized children’s and teen recreation programs, and evening children’s activities enable parents to enjoy a quiet evening together at one of the resort’s restaurants.
