Short Lectures. Big Impact.

The program emphasizes focused, clinically relevant education.

Hippo specifically highlights instruction in common pediatric procedures and demonstrations of essential examinations such as:

• Newborn examinations
• Well-child examinations
• Sports physicals

The emphasis is on translating pediatric knowledge into skills that can be used directly in clinical practice.

The Practice of Pediatric Medicine

The official curriculum begins with the practical realities of caring for children.

Topics include concepts involving:

• Pediatric medicine as a distinct clinical discipline
• Administrative issues
• Billing and coding
• Insurance and referrals
• Implicit bias
• Parent communication
• Parent calls

The curriculum specifically emphasizes that children require pediatric-specific approaches rather than simply applying adult medical frameworks.

Preventive Pediatric Care

Preventive care forms a major component of pediatric primary care.

The curriculum provides a structured approach to:

• Well-child visits
• Growth
• Development
• Screening
• Immunizations
• Anticipatory guidance
• Age-specific examination
• Family counseling

Preventive visits allow clinicians to evaluate not only illness but also the child’s overall development, health, safety, and wellbeing.

Well-Child Checks

The official curriculum contains extensive education on well-child care across multiple age groups.

The course follows pediatric patients through:

Newborn → Infant → Toddler → School-Age Child → Adolescent

This longitudinal structure supports clinicians who provide ongoing pediatric primary care.

Growth & Development

Growth and development are central to pediatric assessment.

The course addresses practical evaluation of children over time through:

• Growth monitoring
• Developmental assessment
• Age-specific screening
• Physical examination
• Parent concerns
• Preventive visits

The objective is to help clinicians recognize expected development while identifying findings that may require additional evaluation.

Newborn Nursery

The official curriculum includes dedicated education on the newborn nursery.

Areas include:

• Newborn examination
• Newborn screening
• Special newborn considerations
• Discharge criteria

These sessions provide practical guidance for clinicians involved in early newborn care.

Newborn Well-Child Visit

The program devotes multiple sessions to the newborn well-child examination.

Important clinical areas include:

• Feeding
• Sleep
• Infant colic
• Jaundice
• Umbilical stump concerns
• Musculoskeletal findings
• HEENT findings
• Skin findings
• Prematurity

This helps clinicians develop a systematic approach to common questions raised by families during the earliest stages of life.

Infant Well-Child Care

The curriculum progresses through infant visits, including education around common issues encountered at approximately:

• 4 months
• 6 months
• 9 months
• 12 months

The program integrates preventive care with practical tips for managing common infant concerns.

Toddler Care

The course includes dedicated well-child education for children approximately 1–4 years of age.

This stage introduces new considerations involving:

• Development
• Behavior
• Nutrition
• Safety
• Preventive care
• Common childhood complaints

School-Age Children

The official curriculum continues with well-child care for children approximately 5–11 years old.

Primary care at this age increasingly incorporates:

• School performance

These sessions help clinicians approach adolescent care with attention to both physical and psychosocial health.

Sports Physicals

Hippo specifically identifies the sports physical as one of the essential examinations demonstrated in Primary Care Bootcamp: Peds.

Sports participation evaluations require structured assessment involving:

• Medical history
• Musculoskeletal examination
• Cardiovascular considerations
• Previous injuries
• Functional concerns
• Participation safety

The course focuses on practical performance of the examination rather than theory alone.

Allergy & Immunology

The official curriculum includes pediatric Allergy and Immunology topics such as:

• Recurrent infections
• Seasonal allergies

These are common concerns in outpatient pediatric practice and frequently require clinicians to distinguish routine childhood presentations from conditions requiring additional evaluation.

Pediatric Cardiovascular Care

Cardiovascular medicine forms part of the broader Primary Care Bootcamp: Peds curriculum.

The focus is on cardiovascular presentations relevant to clinicians providing pediatric outpatient care and recognizing when findings require further assessment or specialty referral.

Pediatric Dermatology

Skin complaints are among the most frequent reasons children present to primary care.

The curriculum includes pediatric dermatology, helping clinicians develop practical approaches to common childhood skin presentations.

The general clinical framework is:

Recognize → Differentiate → Treat → Reassess → Refer When Needed

Endocrinology, Metabolism & Nutrition

The curriculum incorporates pediatric topics involving:

• Endocrine health
• Metabolism
• Nutrition
• Growth

These areas connect closely with preventive care and longitudinal pediatric assessment.

Pediatric Gastroenterology

Gastrointestinal conditions form another major curriculum area.

Pediatric primary care clinicians frequently evaluate problems involving:

• Abdominal symptoms
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Feeding
• Nutrition
• Bowel concerns

The Bootcamp places these presentations within a practical outpatient framework.

Genitourinary Conditions

Pediatric genitourinary problems are included in both clinical and procedural areas of the curriculum.

The course helps clinicians develop practical assessment strategies for GU complaints encountered in children and adolescents.

HEENT

Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat – HEENT problems represent a substantial proportion of pediatric primary care.

The program includes both clinical assessment and procedure-oriented teaching relevant to common HEENT presentations.

Hematology & Oncology

The broader curriculum also includes pediatric hematology and oncology concepts relevant to primary care.

The focus for primary care clinicians is recognizing concerning findings and determining when additional testing or specialty evaluation is appropriate.

Mental & Behavioral Health

Pediatric primary care increasingly involves mental and behavioral healthcare.

The curriculum incorporates mental and behavioral health, including age-specific concerns during childhood and adolescence.

Confirmed adolescent well-child topics include:

• Mental health
• Substance use
• Sleep
• Sexual health

Musculoskeletal Medicine

The course includes pediatric musculoskeletal assessment as part of both routine clinical care and procedural fundamentals.

Relevant concerns may arise during:

• Well-child examinations
• Sports physicals
• Injury evaluations
• Common outpatient complaints

Pediatric Neurology

Neurologic presentations are included among the major pediatric clinical areas.

Primary care clinicians need practical strategies for distinguishing common symptoms from presentations that may require urgent or specialty neurological assessment.

Pediatric Pulmonology

Respiratory complaints are among the most frequent pediatric presentations.

The curriculum includes pulmonology, supporting clinicians managing common respiratory conditions in outpatient pediatric practice.

Pediatric Pharmacology

The course includes dedicated pediatric pharmacology education.

Medication use in children requires attention to pediatric-specific considerations rather than simply applying adult prescribing practices.

This reinforces one of the central themes of the curriculum:

Kids Aren’t Just Little Adults.
