PediatricEducation.org. "The goal of PediatricEducation.org is to build a pediatric virtual learning community.

The project's hypothesis is that residents, fellows, and staff physicians practicing pediatrics can broaden and deepen their knowledge of pediatrics through the use of a continuing pediatric education program that is delivered daily in small granules and integrated into their workflow in the form of pediatric cases.

To place the learning in a clinical context, each case begins with a question, and the case is then used to illustrate and discuss the question, thus creating a form of situated learning that is focused on the discussion that occurs at a higher level after the diagnosis is made.

Over time these cases will aggregate into an unstructured curriculum of pediatric topics that will closely parallel the structured curriculum of a pediatric residency, fellowship and continuing medical education program. Engaging in discussions related to these cases will also result in the development of educational collaborative relationships.

Additionally, the case archive will consist of a database of pediatric cases that can be used by individuals for self-study and review, and by medical educators to demonstrate to their students the spectrum of a disease, the multiple etiologies of a symptom, key concepts to master within a discipline, and the variety of diseases within different age groups."
