Appendix 3. Diagnosis List
This is a list of the diagnosis listed as either core pediatric (CP) or universal (U) in the curriculum. In many circumstances, the student only needs to know the context, e.g. that the newborn screen is useful in detecting PKU deficiency. For others, students should know the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis, and initial therapeutic plan (e.g. bronchiolitis).
