Pathways.org, in conjunction with the American Academy of Pediatrics, created the course Recognizing Early Motor Delays at the Two Month Baby Visit, currently available on the AAP’s pedialink for CME credit.
Pathways.org presented the film from Recognizing Early Motor Delays at the Two Month Baby Visit along with additional videos and materials to more than 50 residency, pediatric nurse practitioner, and physician assistance programs in the Chicago area.
Positive response from the presentations and a successful pilot program prompted Pathways.org to expand the course and create the “2, 4, 6 Month Motor – Course to Go”, allowing others to present to students, colleagues, parents, and friends.
The course is available for FREE and is currently being used by health educators around the world.
