Topic: Peds FTW: Acronyms Used in Pediatrics
Speaker: Sara Greenlee MATI, CT, CHI™- Spanish
Description: Acronyms are everywhere in medicine, and pediatrics is no exception. In fact, there are many acronyms that are unique to pediatrics because they represent conditions that children grow out of – like RDS – or issues that must be resolved in childhood – like HLHS or CDH. Join us to learn 20+ acronyms that are used almost exclusively in pediatrics and review the concepts they represent.
