Bright Futures - Middle Childhood and Adolescence. This course helps you implement the Bright Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children, and Adolescents into everyday practice. These activities acquaint you the importance of the Bright Futures health supervision recommendations and assist in prioritizing the Middle Childhood and Adolescent visits.

Judicious Use of Antibiotics. This course can help guide physicians on judicious use of antibiotics based on accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, as well as how to educate families about appropriate antibiotic prescribing. If proper diagnosis and treatment of common pediatric conditions are followed, fewer antibiotics will be ordered and those that are prescribed will be in the narrow-spectrum category, thus improving cost efficacy, limiting the potential for antibiotic resistance, and improving the quality of care for the child. The course will be available until December 31, 2020 at EQIPP.
Oral Health. This
course was recently revised and is consistent with Bright Futures Guidelines.

office. The course will be available until December 31, 2020 at EQIPP.

endorses substance use screening, brief intervention, and referral to
treatment (SBIRT). The course will be available until October 22, 2021 at EQIPP.
Treating Tobacco Product Use and Exposure in Families. The goal of this course is to help
