Activities in Basic Training

General Paediatrics

Basic Training in general paediatric terms will necessarily bring exposure to organ specific disease but has the additional advantage of allowing you to work in situations in which illness is multifactorial and multidisciplinary.

Training within general paediatric units allows both breadth and depth of experience and provides unique opportunities for integration of skills. It is important that you develop high levels of skill in information acquisition and retrieval related to current clinical processes.

Such training will require the application of knowledge of pathophysiology, risk assessment, disease prevention, investigation and management dealt with in organ-specific disciplines and described in other subspecialty requirements.

There is a particular emphasis on the critical appraisal of the interactions of diseases involving multiple organ systems and in the creation of multidisciplinary diagnostic and management strategies.
