A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON

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.

I hope you find the resources below helpful, and I would encourage you to check this Web page periodically for updated information on educational policy, curricula, and research.

Cordially,

C. Robin Walker, MB, ChB, FAAP, FRCP(C)
