Global Pediatric Education Consortium

Training and Sustaining a Global Pediatric Workforce

2nd Global Pediatric Summit

Twenty members of the GPEC convened in Falkenstein, Germany on 14-16 May 2010, to continue working on a shared vision of creating standards for training and assessment in general pediatrics.  The GPEC focused mainly on refining the core documents that will comprise a global curriculum:

        1.  Core Syllabus - detailed listing of areas of knowledge
        2.  Core Skills and Competencies - behavioral, attitudinal, and procedural skills

These two documents had been worked on for the past six months by two working groups comprised of members of the GPEC and other leaders in pediatric medicine. 

We will be posting working drafts of the Curriculum as they are released by the GPEC.  Please check back to this website for more details.
