Accreditation of academic general pediatric (AGP) fellowships is coming!
Please join us on Sunday, May 4, 8-10 am for an exciting program at the SIG meeting in Hawaii. We welcome and encourage all fellowship faculty, fellows, graduates of fellowship programs, and anyone passionate about fellowship training to attend.
This year's meeting will focus on timely opportunities to advance AGP fellowship training. 1) Peter Szilagyi will present the upcoming APA review and accreditation process for AGP fellowship programs. 2)Paul Darden will discuss setting up a unified application and match system for AGP fellowship programs. 3) Tina Cheng will talk about measuring performance outcomes for fellows, advocacy efforts, and other steps we must take to sustain and increase funding for fellowship programs 4) Anne Duggan will discuss what we can learn from general internal medicine and family medicine fellowship programs to strategize across primary care disciplines. 5) Finally we have called on SIG members to share curricular innovations from their fellowship programs.
These discussions promise to be lively ones, and input from all involved in fellowship training is critical. The SIG meeting will be followed from 10-11 am by a meeting for fellows only, organized and led by fellows.
