The pediatrics curriculum emphasizes on the unique spectrum of children growth

(infancy to adolescence), reviews children’s normal growth and developmental

events and nutritional requirements in different ages, and emphasizes the most

common diseases affecting children of different ages. More emphasis is on

the role of the primary preventive measures, health education and family consultation,

and mental and social aspects of the health and disease. The curriculum further

highlights the importance of working as a manager or a member of the healthcare

team in harmony with other sectors of the society for health promotion in children, families,

and the society.
