In order to effectively use medications for pediatric Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),participants will learn to:

Correctly identify and diagnose ADHD and distinguish this from normal developmental variations.

monitoring improvements; and
identifying and minimizing medication side effects.

Create and implement a treatment plan by mobilizing existing resources. This includes learning how to appropriately delegate tasks by creating an effective treatment team out of family members, school personnel, and other professional caregivers.

TRAINING

The fellowship consists of:

a dynamic one-day training workshop with a focus on interactive learning,
a four-month long, clinical case-based, distance learning program using biweekly group teleconferences to participate in case-based clinical rounds focusing on the kinds of problems and questions encountered in daily practice, and
