The Brighter
tomorrow for pediatricians
Delivering
a diagnosis of Down syndrome, either in utero or postnatally,
can be very challenging for any physician. The purpose
of this interactive tutorial is to provide physicians
with current knowledge about DS, as well as the communication
tools to adequately support families and prospective
parents at the point of the initial diagnosis of Down
syndrome.
As
a pediatrician, you will want to know what the parents
of the newborn may have experienced in the birth of
their child. As an obstetrician, you will be better
able to communicate with parents about critical in utero
decisions if you are exposed to the complexity of issues
and emotions associated with the birth of a child with
Down syndrome.
