Changes in Year Five
With this issue of PIR, we begin year 5 of the Pediatrics Review and Education Program (PREP). Topics for special educational attention this year include endocrinology, metabolic disease, nutrition, genitourinary system disease, fluid and electrolyte metabolism, and gastrointestinal disease. There are 31 educational objectives relating to these topic areas. In addition, there are 163 educational objectives related to Recent Advances. Approximately 20% of these represent objectives that are repeats from one of the previous four years of the PREP cycle. Review articles in this year's PIR will address largely the topic areas, although when a Recent Advance objective seems particularly appropriate or timely for a review article, we will include these.
