概要
Episode 3 | Recorded December, 2025
I rely heavily on the WHO weight-for-age Growth Chart when assessing littles. Let’s dig in and learn all about this tool.
In This Episode:
- How was the WHO Growth Chart created?
- What’s the difference between a standard and a reference?
- How to describe percentiles to patients
- Should I assess developmental milestones in combination with the growth chart when looking at a child’s growth?
