General Pediatrics
We help children and youth with complex medical needs and their families and caregivers. We support children from birth to 18 years of age.
We offer general physical examinations and care to children from birth through to 18 years of age. We provide:
- Care for children and youth with complex medical and psychosocial problems
- Assessment and management of children and youth with chronic illnesses, such as asthma and hypotonia
- Developmental and behavioural assessment and guidance
- Parent education, support and guidance
- Coordination with other health-care professionals, as needed
We are a teaching clinic. We have medical students and pediatric residents in the clinic most of the time. A resident may see your child or youth as part of our Resident Continuity Clinic (RCC). Residents are doctors training to be pediatricians. They are are always supervised by a pediatrician.
