I would like to take a moment to bring to your attention our newest pediatric resource, PediatricEducation.org (http://www.pediatriceducation.org)

PediatricEducation.org is a Pediatric Digital Library and Learning Collaboratory intended to serve as a source of continuing pediatric education.

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.

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.

PediatricEducation.org is written for and intended primarily for use by residents, fellows, or attending physicians practicing pediatrics. Medical students beginning their study of pediatrics or other health care providers practicing pediatrics may find it useful.

Currently, a new case is being added weekly to PediatricEducation.org.

Feel free to pass this message onto a resident, fellow, or other colleague and to bookmark and / or link to PediatricEducation.org.

Respectfully yours,

Donna M. D'Alessandro, M.D.
