Bright Futures at Georgetown University offers a series of training modules for all health professionals who provide well-child care in a variety of settings, including private practice, state or local health departments, Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs, and Medicaid's Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT).

Drawing on the rich tradition of Bright Futures, the curriculum features established content and philosophy for pediatric preventive care as well as the most recent recommendations for screening and periodicity as presented in the third edition of the Bright Futures guidelines.

Designed for use as self-directed tutorials or on-site group training sessions, the curriculum consists of 10 half-hour modules and can be taken for CME credit, CE credit, or for a certificate of completion.
