Pediatric Residency
Time to Review and Perhaps Revise
 Last comprehensive evaluation in 1978
 Since then:
 Changes in what “must” be learned
 Decreased time for experiential learning
 Increased expectations by the public, the
profession and residents

ABP Mission Statement
…certification provides assurance to the public
that a general pediatrician or pediatric subspecialist
has successfully completed accredited training and
fulfills the continuous evaluation requirements that
encompass the six core competencies…. The
ABP’s quest for excellence is evident in its rigorous
evaluation process and in new initiatives
undertaken that not only continually improve
the standards of its certification but also
advance the science, education, study, and
practice of pediatrics.
