Description:
Pediatricians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in the primary care setting are responsible for the ongoing care of patients with Rett syndrome. Because of the rareness of the disorder, pediatric clinicians need education on best practices and multidisciplinary care of these complex patients. This educational activity will provide them with the skills to identify subtle signs and symptoms of Rett syndrome during the early stages of the disorder so that referral can be made in a timely manner. Pediatric clinicians will also become familiar with the guidelines that are important for this disease so they may consistently practice guideline-based multidisciplinary care. Finally, experts will provide a clear breakdown of the clinical data for the newly approved treatment trofinetide and the emerging agent blarcamesine.
