International School Nurse Professional Development

On November 7,  international school nurses came together for a professional development program at Beijing United Family Hospital and Clinics (BJU).

Dr. Lin Zhonghui shared information on recent Pediatric ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) research linking allergies, sleep issues, and the increase in ADHD diagnoses. Nurses were also eager to learn about preventive measures for children that can reduce the likelihood of adult sleep issues.

Irritable bowel syndrome was also covered extensively by our Chair of Internal Medicine, Dr. Ji Kai Yu. Keeping a food and stress log can be a first step toward identifying problem areas.
