What is e-COR? e-COR is an interactive CME course about developmental and behavioral problems encountered in the primary care of children. The format is modeled on the successful "Collaborative Office Rounds" or COR projects, funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau. In e-COR, developmental-behavioral pediatricians and child psychiatrists facilitate case-based discussions among primary care clinicians about such topics as ADHD, developmental delays, and school failure using a web-based classroom. Who is the target audience? How does e-COR work? Each month a case is posted on a dedicated e-COR website. Participants are alerted by e-mail. They log on at their own convenience within the month, read the initial case presentation, and answer questions posed by the faculty. When the next installment of the case is posted, participants are again notified via e-mail. The web-based classroom allows participants to comment on each other's answers, allowing for active discussions. Developmental-behavioral pediatricians and child psychiatrists monitor the discussion, provide expert commentary at the end of the month, and provide additional resources and readings, such as links to relevant services and tools for clinicians.

 Something's Wrong with Richard [preview] Start Date: 2/1/2005 Enrollment Deadline: 3/1/2005 CC: Mrs. Lester brings her 24-month old son Richard for an initial appointment. The family just moved to your area from Ohio. She is concerned that “something’s wrong.”
HPI: Her concerns began around 14 to 15 months. Mrs. Lester reports that Richard had poor eye contact even with familiar caregivers. He used "ma" rather indiscriminately to mean anything, did not point to objects and did not wave bye-bye. She brought these issues to the attention of her pediatrician while living in Ohio. However, the doctor thought this was normal for a boy his age.
