Evaluating Current Practices in Primary Care Pediatrics Education: A Scoping Review Protocol

Abstract

As methods and research in the field of medical education are constantly growing and evolving, new practices in teaching are being applied to multiple specialties and subspecialties across medicine, including pediatrics. The field of primary care pediatrics is one that encompasses a wide breadth of information, and given the ever-changing landscape of medical education, evaluation of recent changes or developments in how primary care pediatrics is taught at the resident physician and medical student level could help to identify areas for further improvement. In order to identify recent changes in the way that primary care pediatrics teaching occurs and what areas could be improved, we ask the question: what qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods research exists regarding primary care pediatrics education for medical students and resident trainees?
