Overview
What you will study
Much has changed since medical school. Many health care guidelines and emerging literature are changing the way that individuals with Down syndrome are diagnosed, followed, and managed. Astute physicians can now detect associated conditions before they become symptomatic in an effort to maximize health care development.

- Define the causes of Down syndrome.
- Describe the evidenced-based best practices for, and implications of, receiving and delivering a prenatal vs. postnatal diagnosis of Down syndrome.
