Puberty: What’s normal and what’s not?

Children can present to primary care with pubertal concerns, which can be tricky to navigate.

This webinar will cover:

  • An overview of normal pubertal development.
  • What’s not normal and when puberty would be considered precocious.
  • When to reassure, when and how to investigate, and when to refer.

As always, we will answer as many questions as possible during this session.
