Annual Pediatric Review Conference - APRC

The annual pediatric review conference started in 2004 as a course aiming to improve care for children in Jordan and the region. With time, the course grew up in content and number of speakers and developed into a full conference. In addition to improving care for our children, the conference aims at connecting our pediatric community in Jordan with experts in pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties in the US and the World.

APRC does cover general pediatric topics and pediatric sub-specialties. Each year, we offer around 40 lectures, 20 min each. Usually done over 2 days, a Thursday and a Friday.   Today, APRC is considered the source of update in pediatrics for pediatricians, general practitioners and family practitioners. 

This year, APRC will have 4 workshops 90 min each, the purpose of which is to interact with the experts in areas that are very relevant to physicians and nurses.

Our attendants are pediatricians, general practitioners, family practitioners and nurses caring for children. And they are from Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Sudan.

Come, join us and meet our experts and interact with our activities, APRC is there to help our physicians stay on track with pediatrics.
