Sessions/ Tracks
Track 1: Pediatrics and Adolescent Psychology
Children, adolescents, and families in a paediatric health setting may experience psychological effects from disease, injury, and the encouragement of healthy habits, according to the multidisciplinary discipline of paediatric psychology. In order to better understand the dynamic relationships that exist between kids, their families, and the health care delivery system as a whole, psychological difficulties are addressed within a developmental framework.
Psychosocial development, environmental factors that influence the onset of a disorder, the results of children with medical conditions, the treatment of comorbid behavioural and emotional aspects of illness and injury, the promotion of proper health behaviours, developmental disabilities, and fighting for public policies that support children's health are among the common study topics.

Track 2: Pediatric Research
Pediatricians with advanced training may pursue subspecialties. While there are some similarities between practising a paediatric subspecialty and the related adult speciality, the pattern of disease represents a significant variance. Typically, illnesses that are frequent in children are uncommon in adults (such as rotavirus infection and bronchiolitis), and vice versa (eg coronary artery disease, deep vein thrombosis). Children's cardiac disorders, notably congenital heart defects, are treated by paediatric cardiologists, while children's cancers, which are uncommon in adults but quite frequent in children (such as some leukemias, lymphomas, and sarcomas), are typically treated by paediatric oncologists. Pediatrics offers each specialisation of adult medicine (with the obvious exception of geriatrics).

Track 3: Neonatology
Newborn infants, more precisely those that are under four weeks old, are referred to as neonates. This is a highly vital stage in a baby's development because it's when things like eating routines are formed, when parent-child bonding starts, and most significantly, when the infant is most vulnerable to infections that could go serious. Congenital flaws or birth abnormalities are also noted at this stage.
As a neonate, the infant is going through a lot of changes as it learns to adapt to life outside of the womb. Its physiological systems, like the immune system and lungs, are still developing and require more protection from potential infection sources.

Track 4: Pediatric Anesthesia
The physiologic processes that determine medication disposition rapidly alter as children grow and mature, making the paediatric population an extremely dynamic group of patients. As a result, particular considerations should be given to the use of pharmacologic medicines in paediatric patients. Understanding the physiologic, pharmacologic, and psychological variations between children and adults is crucial to providing effective patient care when giving children general anaesthetic medicines.

Track 5: Pediatric Cardiology
The evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital and acquired cardiovascular issues in foetuses, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults are the focus of the medical speciality known as paediatric cardiology.
Some children were born with structural cardiovascular differences. Some people may experience issues with the electrical system that regulates their heartbeat. Pediatric cardiologists have received specialised training to identify and treat each of these issues.

Among some of the duties of a paediatric dentist are:
-
Identifying and treating oral diseases (preventive and restorative)
-
X-ray and other diagnostic test interpretation
-
Create treatment strategies to improve the dental health of paediatric patients, both those who are healthy and those who require particular medical attention.
-
Observe the expansion and development of each tooth and jaw.

Track 7: Pediatric Dermatology
Doctors that specialise in treating children's skin, hair, and nails are known as paediatric dermatologists. From infants to teenagers, they care for kids of all ages. From acne to skin cancer, they are able to identify and treat a wide range of illnesses.
Pediatric dermatologists are employed by hospitals or clinics. Children who have problems with their skin, hair, or nails are diagnosed and treated. Such actions include:
Treat skin diseases include vitiligo (loss of skin pigment), dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, allergic responses, and others.
-
Get rid of any skin growths like moles, cysts, or warts.
-
Laser therapies
-
A skin biopsy
-
Skin cancer treatment

Track 8: Pediatric Endocrinology
Pediatric endocrinology is a medical specialist that deals with endocrine gland diseases, including abnormalities in young children's physical growth and sexual development, diabetes, and many more.
Type1 diabetes is the most prevalent condition in the field, accounting for at least 50% of a normal clinical practise. Growth disorders, especially those that can be treated with growth hormones, are the second most frequent issue. The primary doctors that treat newborns and children with intersex problems are typically paediatric endocrinologists. The speciality also deals with puberty variations, hypoglycemia and other forms of hyperglycemia in childhood, as well as various issues involving the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands.

Track 10: Pediatric Hematology
A doctor who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases and cancers in children, adolescents, and young adults is known as a paediatric haematologist.
Pediatric haematologists identify, manage, and treat the following conditions in young teenagers:
-
Leukemias, lymphomas, brain tumours, bone tumours, and solid tumours are among the cancers.
-
abnormalities of the white blood cell, red blood cell, and platelet populations
-
abnormalities of bleeding and clotting

Track 11: Pediatric Nephrology
A paediatric nephrologist is an expert in the medical requirements of newborns, kids, and teenagers with kidney abnormalities and diseases. Kidney issues in children, such as renal stones and kidney failure, are diagnosed and treated by paediatric nephrologists. They also aid in controlling kidney-related illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Typically, a paediatric nephrologist:
-
examines the medical background and renal function of a patient.
-
diagnoses and treatments diseases and ailments, such as diabetes and childhood nephrotic syndrome, that damage the kidneys in children.
-
examines the findings of screenings for kidney disease, such as urine, blood, and biopsy results

Track 12: Pediatric Surgery
Pediatric surgery arose in the middle of the 1879 century as the surgical care of birth defects required novel techniques and methods, and became more commonly based at children's hospitals. One of the sites of this innovation was Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Beginning in the 1940s under the surgical leadership of C. Everett Koop, newer techniques for endotracheal anesthesia of infants allowed surgical repair of previously untreatable birth defects. By the late 1970s, the infant death rate from several major congenital malformation syndromes had been reduced to near zero.

Track 13: Immunization
The importance of immunizations for both world health and modern medicine cannot be overstated. Many vaccines are used in children's international immunisation programmes, however there may be subtle regional variations. For instance, compared to non-industrialized countries, the majority of industrialised countries prefer to adhere to comparable primary immunisation regimens. The difference in vaccination regimens per nation is also influenced by geography.

Track 14: Pediatric Nursing
Pediatric Nursing is a specialization of the nursing profession that focuses on pediatrics and the medical care of children, from infancy to the teenage years. This is an important field because the health of children is distinct from that of adults due to the growth and development that occurs throughout childhood.
It's important to know that becoming certified as a paediatric nurse is not necessary in order to work as a child nurse. However, for nurses who are passionate about providing care for children, having specific knowledge and training helps to boost work prospects.
