Hippo Education Primary Care Bootcamp: Pediatrics (PCB Peds) is an intensive, high-yield continuing medical education curriculum engineered to equip outpatient healthcare providers with essential clinical expertise in pediatric ambulatory practice. Transitioning into or maintaining proficiency in pediatric primary care requires navigating unique physiologic, developmental, behavioral, and communication challenges distinct from adult medicine. Through focused video lectures, evidence-based guidelines, and practical clinical pearls, this curriculum covers the full spectrum of everyday outpatient pediatric medicine—from routine well-child visits, developmental screening, and pediatric pharmacology to the diagnosis and chronic management of common respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermatologic, and behavioral conditions. The program emphasizes recognizing subtle clinical red flags, preventing missed diagnoses, streamlining outpatient workflows, and building strong therapeutic alliances with pediatric patients and their caregivers.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

• Conduct age-appropriate, comprehensive well-child assessments, developmental screenings, and growth chart evaluations across neonates, infants, children, and adolescents.

• Formulate evidence-based diagnostic approaches and outpatient treatment plans for common pediatric illnesses across respiratory, infectious disease, dermatologic, and gastrointestinal organ systems.

• Screen for, diagnose, and initiate first-line management for developmental and mental health conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autism spectrum disorder.

• Implement routine immunization schedules, manage catch-up vaccination scenarios, and effectively address vaccine hesitancy with families.

• Calculate pediatric medication dosages accurately and apply principles of safe prescribing and antimicrobial stewardship in ambulatory care.

• Identify high-risk pediatric warning signs that indicate urgent hospital referral, subspecialty consultation, or immediate emergency stabilization.

Target Audience

This course is intended for primary care physicians (family physicians and general pediatricians), physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), resident trainees, and other healthcare professionals who provide outpatient and preventive healthcare to pediatric populations or are transitioning into pediatric ambulatory practice. Best for Pediatricians, Family Medicine Physicians, Adolescent Medicine Specialists, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, Pediatric Dermatologists, Pediatric Allergists/Immunologists, Pediatric Pulmonologists, Pediatric Gastroenterologists, Pediatric Endocrinologists, and Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists.
