The Rourke baby record at 40

About this episode

This episode discusses the 40th anniversary of the Rourke Baby Record and its updates.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Rourke Baby Record (RBR), a tool first developed by Drs. James and Leslie Rourke in their family practice in Goderich, ON to help them better care for babies and toddlers in their practice. The first version of the RBR was published in  Canadian Family Physician  in 1985 and since its initial publication it has gone on to be widely used in family medicine and primary care practices in Canada and around the world. Since its inception,  Canadian Family Physician  has published regular updates to the RBR. Join Editor Dr. Nick Pimlott as he interviews Dr. Imaan Bayoumi and Dr. Leslie Rourke about the most recent important updates to the Rourke Baby Record ( https://www.cfp.ca/content/cfp/71/9/553.full.pdf ).
