Dr. Susan Kaufman, pediatric gynecologist at Virtua Health, is joined by Dr. Tania Dumont, pediatric gynecologist from CHEO and the University of Ottawa, to break down how to perform a pediatric gynecologic exam with empathy, clarity, and evidence, from newborn anatomy to adolescent assessment. We show how language, positioning, and choice reduce fear while improving visualization, diagnosis, and outcomes.
