Pediatric Advocacy Training

About the Program

The Pediatric Advocacy Rotation comprises a three year, longitudinal project as well as a more intensive four week block devoted solely to advocacy activities during the PL2 resident year. This curriculum builds upon and enhances the previously existing advocacy curriculum which consisted of a one month rotation only. Sample project products from the original curriculum are presented in the Residents in Action section.

The longitudinal project is based on community or legislative advocacy and is designed to give residents the skills necessary to develop, implement and evaluate an advocacy activity from beginning to end. This year, with the intern (2009) class we will launch an inaugural three year, longitudinal, school-based program. Residents’ current longitudinal project are based on community or legislative advocacy and are designed to give residents the skills necessary to develop, implement and evaluate an advocacy activity from beginning to end. The Schools’ Program will incorporate a multidisciplinary approach to providing health in the schools.
