Editorial 2 Pediatrics in Review

Edwin L. Kendig Jr MD1
 1 President, American Academy of Pediatrics

With this first issue of PEDIATRICS IN REVIEW the American Academy of Pediatrics' sponsored pediatric review and education program (PREP) has been launched. The program is multifaceted and will be coordinated with the American Board of Pediatrics program for recertification in pediatrics. Medical education (continuing education) has always been the Academy's highest priority and PREP is the most recent and most comprehensive of all Academy education programs.

Maintaining professional competence is a responsibility of every pediatrician and PREP is a coordinated program of continuing education designed to help pediatricians maintain and assess their own competency. The objectives for PREP (and for the American Board of Pediatrics recertification program) are: (1) To help pediatricians acquire new abilities in the management of acute and chronic illness in infants, children and adolescents; these abilities include attitudes (work habits), knowledge and clinical judgment, interpersonal (communication) skills, and technical skills; (2) To help pediatricians, through a program of self-assessment procedures, set their own priorities for professional advancement and to determine when their goals have been met.
