Please join us for Pediatric Innovations Symposium 2011. This two-day comprehensive program is designed for Pediatricians, General Practice Physicians, Pediatric Residents and Subspecialty Fellows, Nurse Clinicians, and Biomedical Scientists. Lectures will focus on the developing brain; new approaches to fetal and postnatal treatment; viral infection and child development; hematology and oncology; and obesity in childhood. In addition, two roundtable interactive discussions will address current questions about vaccine recommendations and safety and practical approaches to the management of pediatric obesity.
