PCCM Board Review Program
Certification in both Pediatrics and Pediatric Critical Care are milestones that lay the foundation for life-long learning in our field of practice. Given the importance of accomplishing this milestone in a timely manner post-completion of each training program and the anxiety and stress that it can impart when preparing, we feel it is our obligation to support our trainees in the organized preparation for each of these important endeavors. To that end, the Department of Pediatric and the Division of Pediatric Critical Care have devised a Board Preparation Curriculum and Boot Camp for each of the 2 certification exams.
