Elements of Competence

In addition to knowledge, this activity has been designed to change learner competence and focuses on the American Board of Medical Specialties areas of practice-based learning and improvement medical knowledge.

Practice Gaps

Clinicians who care for pediatric patients need to be aware of new and/or developing technology and guidelines for practice in key areas of pediatric medicine as identified by the American Board of Pediatrics and department faculty. Many are focused on clinical care or subspecialty areas, so there is not much time to address knowledge gaps on the breadth of pediatric medicine required by the American Board of Pediatrics.
