A MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSONIt
is my pleasure to welcome you to the Web page for the Committee on Pediatric Education
(COPE). The
purpose of this Committee is to act as a think tank within the American Academy
of Pediatrics for discussion, consensus building and collaboration on emerging
issues facing pediatric education. This includes proposed policy, research, curriculum
and faculty development, outcome measures, and practice issues as they relate
to pediatric education. The Committee, in coordination with member organizations,
reviews and monitors the field of pediatric education, identifies gaps or areas
in need of enhancement, and recommends appropriate strategies and/or organizational
structures. These activities serve the common goal of advancing pediatric education.
The current agenda of this Committee includes three core themes addressing:
1. Proactively support
the Academy's multiple initiatives in the field of international pediatrics, particularly
as they relate to educational activities. 2.
Examine issues related to the educational needs of practicing pediatricians who
wish to re-enter the physician workforce after an extended leave of absence. 3.
Work with appropriate external organizations and AAP groups on educational issues
related to the provision of culturally effective pediatric care, including the
elimination of health disparities. 4.
Explore opportunities to enhance medical education at all levels via Web-based
platforms. This analysis should include the role of these platforms to assist
residency and fellowship programs in implementing the 6 ACGME core competencies
through curricula, toolboxes, and other resources. 5.
Continue to foster ongoing communication and collaboration among COPE member organizations
and groups about current educational and policy issues in pediatrics. I
hope you find the resources below helpful, and I would encourage you to check
the Web page periodically for updated information on educational policy, curricula,
and research. Cordially, C.
Robin Walker, MB, ChB, FAAP, FRCP(C) Chairperson
