Working Groups
In addition to the APPD Board, Regions, Coordinators' Executive Committee, and the Task Forces, there are also working groups which often represent efforts across pediatric organizations.
COMSEP-APPD PEDIATRIC SUBINTERN CURRICULUM

A joint effort to improve the MS4 Senior Student sub-intern / acting-intern rotations. This initiative includes leadership from both organizations and educational committees in each.
PEDIATRIC MILESTONES PROJECT

An initiative by the ACGME along with the ABP to address measures for promotion and graduation, and develop the competency project further. This group has APPD members and others involved.
ABP R3P (Residency Review and Redesign in Pediatrics project)
