Background and aims

Download the Final Programme and Abstracts

Growth disorders are a common problem around the globe, frequently resulting from genetic predisposition and environmental factors such as malnutrition  or secondary  diseases  in  some  regions.  Screening, diagnosis and management of conditions such as short stature, puberty delay, and lower adult height, are significant challenges for healthcare professionals because of the lack of diagnosis and treatment guidelines and insufficient focus on relevant medical education.

EXCEMED is continuing its mission to disseminate the latest knowledge and achievements in the field of growth disorders by organising a conference in 2014 designed for paediatric endocrinologists and scientists dealing with these conditions. This conference will be led by international experts in the field and will include  discussion  of  the  most  important  advances  in  research  and clinical  settings,  and  provide  an  opportunity  to  share  best  practice  in managing such diseases in daily practice.

Learning objectives

By attending this live educational conference, learners will have up-to- date knowledge about the latest developments in research and clinical management of growth disorders, and particularly will be able to:

  • Recognise the burden of growth disorders in the paediatric community
  • Enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with the use of approved guidelines
  • Improve the use of growth hormone therapy in the light of pharmacogenomic evidence  and the long-term effects of such treatment 
  • Describe the use of growth hormone therapy in different conditions and comorbidities
  • Discuss tools for achieving better treatment adherence

Target audience

Pediatric endocrinologists, scientists, and all the professionals involved in managing children with growth disorders.
