OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify common low-value pediatric practices that persist in clinical settings despite a lack of evidence or clear medical benefit.
2. Analyze the clinical and economic impact of overused tests and treatments
3. Apply evidence-based frameworks to differentiate between "traditional" medical dogma and best practices in everyday patient care.
4. Discuss strategies for de-implementation, exploring how clinicians can reduce unnecessary patient interventions
