Health supervision which includes assessment of growth and development,
prevention of disease by immunization, prevention of injury by education,
screening for treatable conditions and promotion of a healthy environment
and a healthy lifestyle is essential to pediatric practice and primary
care.
Prerequisites
- Introductory data gathering skills.
- Knowledge of metabolic processes in the body including the
respective roles of dietary fats, carbohydrates, and protein,
and the need for vitamins and minerals
- Knowledge of normal immune responses, mechanisms of immunization,
and modes of transmission of communicable diseases.
- Knowledge of clinical epidemiologic concepts and the appropriate
uses of screening in clinical medicine and the characteristics
of a good screening test (i.e. sensitivity, specificity, positive
and negative predictive values).
Competencies
Knowledge
- List the most common preventable morbidities in childhood and
describe strategies for prevention. (CP)
- Describe the components of a health supervision visit including
health promotion and disease and injury prevention, the appropriate
use of screening tools, and immunizations for newborns, infants,
toddlers, school aged children, and adolescents. (CP)
- Describe the rationale for childhood immunizations. (See Prevention).
(CP)
- Discuss the rational for screening tests (such as environmental
lead questionnaire, domestic violence screening, CBC, urinalysis,
blood lead level, and PPD). (CP)
- Describe the indications (CP), appropriate use (CP), interpretation
(M), and limitations (M) of the following screening tests:

- Developmental screening
- Hearing and vision screening
- Lead screening
- Anemia screening
- Tuberculosis testing
- Define anticipatory guidance and describe how it changes based
on the age of the child. (CP)
Skills.
- Demonstrate an ability to provide age-appropriate anticipatory
guidance about nutrition (CP), behavior (CP), immunizations (CP),
injury prevention (CP), pubertal development (CP), sexuality (M),
and substance use and abuse (M).
