The Education Committee is an interdisciplinary group of individuals interested in promoting innovative, efficient and effective education in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics as a means of equipping teachers to help their trainees become competent in promoting optimal developmental and behavioral health for all children. Current goals of the committee include:

1. promoting optimal resident education in DB Pediatrics through providing educational workshops focusing on model methods of teaching and evaluating residents and establishing an online library of such resources;
   
   
2. promoting lifelong learning of DB Pediatricians through additional educational activities (e.g. DB Prep, DB Peds Self-Assessment); and
   
   
3. provide for ongoing communication among DB Pediatrics educators to address new and ongoing concerns. The committee is open to any member wishing to participate and encourages the participation of fellows.
