Description:

This course is designed for healthcare professionals involved in either pediatric care or emergency settings, focusing on identifying and treating abusive head trauma (AHT) in infants and children. Timely and precise diagnosis is crucial for maximizing positive outcomes. Additionally, accurate diagnosis is essential, as misdiagnosis may result in additional AHT, other forms of trauma to the infant/child, or irreversible harm to the family if AHT is wrongly identified.
