The Global Survey on Pediatric Curricula is an official trans-national project of International Federation on Medical Students' Association (IFMSA) in collaboration with WHO Department of Child and Adolescent Health and Development. The survey is being conducted by IFMSA SCOME from October 2007- May 2008 and extended until June 2008.
The Aim and Objectives
The aim of this project is to create a Map and Database of Paediatric Curricula around the world which enables us to get the information about the Paediatric Curricula. It is intended as a tool to gather and consolidate information on what medical students learn and understand, and also what skills they have in paediatric.
The main objectives of this project are to : (1) describe what medical students learn during their paediatric curricula, (2) describe clinical skills taught in Paediatric Curricula, and (3) find out what medical students know and learn about IMCI in their paediatric curricula.
Target Audience
We need your help to promote this survey in your home country and encourage medical students who had finished paediatric clerkship/clerkship to participate. We need at least 1387 responses, with at minimum three minimum students from each medical school taking part. We also extended the target audience to freshly graduated doctors (not exceeded by 6 month after graduation).
