Peds PLACE
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Arkansas Children's Hospital
is offering a weekly Pediatric Tele-educational Conference. The conference will
be held every Thursday from 12:15 - 1:15 PM. The conference will cover a
different pediatric problem each week with all the connecting sites being able
to interact with the speaker and with each other in real time. The conference
will begin with a case presentation which illustrates the topic to be discussed.
The speaker will frequently have a written guideline covering the topic
discussed, which will be posted on the Web, and will use the case presentation
to guide us through the most important parts of the guideline.
