Medical Training AIDevelopmental Milestones and Screening
You'll be able to assess developmental progress by age, apply standardized screening tools correctly, and recognize when a referral for early intervention is warranted.
What this track covers
This track covers developmental surveillance across gross motor, fine motor, language, cognitive, and social-emotional domains, along with growth chart interpretation and standardized screening instruments used in routine well-child care. It emphasizes distinguishing normal variation from red-flag findings and knowing the appropriate next step when a delay is suspected.
What you will practice
- Sequencing expected gross motor, fine motor, language, cognitive, and social-emotional milestones by age
- Interpreting WHO and CDC growth charts and recognizing patterns concerning for failure to thrive
- Administering and scoring ASQ-3, ASQ:SE-2, M-CHAT-R/F, and PEDS screening tools
- Identifying early warning signs on autism screening and determining when comprehensive evaluation is needed
- Structuring a conversation with a parent about a suspected developmental delay and next steps
Simulator scenario
A virtual well-child visit where the patient's history and observed behaviors require the clinician to select and interpret the right screening tool and decide whether an early intervention referral is indicated.
Board question topics
- Age-appropriate developmental milestone recognition
- Growth chart interpretation and failure to thrive
- Screening tool selection, administration, and scoring
- Early intervention referral criteria and pathways
