	OVERVIEW The objective of the activities is address outstanding questions related to the impact of growth hormone therapy on final height and quality of life in patients with idiopathic short stature based on new data from randomized clinical trials, and for learners to utilize this data to apply changes into their clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.

	OVERVIEW Management of patients with growth disorders is becoming increasingly complex, with a range of medications that may affect a patient’s growth and expanding uses of growth hormone treatment. Pediatric endocrine physicians and nurses must also be able to counsel patients who are not candidates for treatment. This monograph will review medications that have an impact on growth, as well as the conditions for which growth hormone therapy is indicated. Importantly, strategies for working with families with normal variant short stature, for which growth hormone therapy is not indicated, will be discussed.

	OVERVIEW It is vital that health care professionals managing patients with growth disorders are knowledgeable of the emerging advances in treatments for these conditions, most notably growth hormone therapy. This monograph will review the molecular mechanism of growth hormone signaling, its multiple sites of action, and the complex pathways by which this peptide hormone is regulated. The genetic defects that result in growth hormone deficiency will be presented, as well as the pathophysiology of this disorder. Criteria for the diagnosis of short stature and the management of growth hormone deficiency with growth hormone therapy will be evaluated.
