Growth retardation is a frequent reason for consultation. Its causes are numerous and their respective frequencies differ somewhat depending on whether one is in endocrinology or paediatrics. Therapeutic education (TE) represents a cornerstone in the management of various chronic diseases in children and adults, nevertheless, it remains less common and less developed in certain diseases such as growth retardation (GR). The objective of our work is to report the attitude of multidisciplinary management of this serious pathology within the service of Endocrinology, Diabetology, Metabolic Diseases and Nutrition of the University Hospital Center (UHC) Mohammed VI of Marrakech, which is based on a global approach centred on the patient and his family: medical, psychological and dietetic approaches, which make it possible to expose the difficulties encountered, to develop a project to optimise the "patient pathway", to develop hospital and outpatient care and to strengthen the role of the UHC as a recourse and expert.
