1st Global Pediatric Summit
Pediatric leaders from more than 16 nations convened in Frankfurt, Germany on 17-19 July 2009, to discuss the potential for creating a global consortium of standard setting bodies. Discussions centered around the potential creation of:
1. Core competencies for General Pediatrics
2. A common curriculum
3. Assessment tools for training programs
4. Physician certification processes
The group agreed to jointly pursue these ideals and to begin working with leaders worldwide to pursue strategic relationships with pertinent agencies such as the World Health Organization and UNICEF to accomplish this mission.
