Course Overview

In surveys conducted by Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) among pediatricians attending symposia sponsored by BCM, respondents have expressed a need to be kept updated on innovations, discoveries, and changes in the approach to diagnosis, care, and management of pediatric patients. The 2000-2001 educational objectives of the American Academy of Pediatrics specifically list topic areas in which pediatricians should have current knowledge. The presentation in this activity addresses the strategies for conducting a successful adolescent patient interview.

These presentations were developed from the proceedings of the 24th Annual Pediatric Postgraduate Symposium, held on April 25-27, 2002, in Houston, Texas.
