PED 6800 - Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum: Explore

Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum (EPAC) EXPLORE, the first component of an elective curriculum that supplies additional exposure to pediatrics, provides students with an overview of the specialty of pediatrics through seminars, simulations and group discussions. The ultimate goal of EPAC is to identify a cohort of students who are 1) committed to pediatrics as careers; 2) willing to stay at the University of Utah for residency training; and 3) willing to be assessed using competency-based mechanisms, including entrustable professional activities (EPAs).
