Resident Education Curriculum in Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology: The Short Curriculum 3.0

Published:March 30, 2021DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpag.2021.01.016

      ABSTRACT

      Exposure to pediatric and adolescent gynecology (PAG) varies across residency programs in obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, and pediatrics, as well as fellowship programs in adolescent medicine. Nevertheless, these programs are responsible for training residents and fellows and providing opportunities within their programs to fulfill PAG learning objectives. To that end, the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology has taken a leadership role in PAG education by creating and systematically updating the Short Curriculum. This curriculum outlines specific learning objectives that are central to PAG education and lists essential resources for learners’ reference. This updated curriculum replaces the previous 2018 publication with added content, resources, and updated references.
