183450 - Sydney Child Health Program 2

The aim of this program is to address the needs of general practitioners (GPs) by equipping them with the skills and knowledge to recognise, manage or refer important paediatric problems. It will empower GPs to effectively communicate with children and their families, and provides information which ultimately helps children to have a healthy lifestyle. The Sydney Child Health Program also caters to GPs who have an international medical graduate background. Taking part in this program of study helps give them an insight and experience to manage the Australian paediatric population.
