We are recruiting for several new committee positions at PEdSIG. Anyone can apply, from students to consultants.
We are an RCPCH Special Interest Group focussed on all things paediatric medical education and are looking for enthusiastic new healthcare professionals/students to join the team.
PEdSIG is all about promoting paediatric education (undergraduate and postgraduate) and supporting those involved in paediatric education through social media, meetings, written resources and by building a network of paediatricians who want to inspire through great teaching and education.
The PEdSIG Committee is a friendly and enthusiastic group of paediatric educators who help to deliver the PEdSIG vision.
The whole committee meets approx 4 times a year, and an additional AGM meeting is held annually in the autumn. As the committee is spread across the UK, our meetings are usually held on Teams to allow as many to attend as possible.
One of our core activities is to develop, plan and deliver the PEdSIG sessions at the RCPCH and the PEdSIG Winter Meeting. Committee members also assist in organisation of these meetings, including scoring of abstracts.
