Training and Sustaining a Global Pediatric Workforce

Dear Global Pediatric Education Community and Colleagues:
 
The first complete working draft of the Global Pediatric Curriculum and Guidelines for Residency Training, Assessment, Certification, and Continuous Professional Development is now available in 4 languages. These documents represent several years of collaborative work amongst the GPEC delegate organizations and curriculum experts from around the world. The development process was based upon consensus of our delegates and the resulting documents represent a best-practices approach to training and assessment from around the world.

NEW!  

We now have access to the Paediatric Primary Care Curriculum, based on the GPEC Curriculum, created by the European Confederation of Primary Care Paediatrics for primary care residency training in Europe.
