This episode will prepare you for your first well child visit. In primary care, about half of a pediatrician's time will be spent in well child visits. We will talk about what you need to review before you walk into the patient's room, the elements of the history (diet, sleep, elimination, development, etc.) that you need to ask about in well child visits, tips to approaching the physical exam in children, and anticipatory guidance. Finally, we will provide an example of an oral presentation for a well child visit.
