The professional training of pediatricians in Israel, as well as in most other countries, takes place primarily in hospitals. This training doesn’t provide enough exposure to the problems that commonly affect the health and wellbeing of children in the community. As a result, pediatricians working in community clinics may lack vital tools that they need in their every-day work. Goshen’s training enriches the community pediatricians’ medical knowledge and provides practical tools in the medical fields of child development and behavior, while referring to psycho-social aspects that affect children’s health and behavior, along with exposure and getting to know the community services and education, healthcare and welfare infrastructures relevant to their work.
A series of free online professional lectures that deal with different aspects of child healthcare and welfare in the community. These webinars expand pediatricians’ professional knowledge and provide innovative tools for optimal treatment in community clinics. The lecturers are professionals in the field of child pediatrics and community organizations working to improve child wellbeing, moderated by Goshen’s medical directors, Dr. Hava Gadassi and Dr. Dafna Idan-Prusak.
Target audience – pediatricians, family doctors, Tipat Halav doctors, pediatric residents.
