[«I Prepare My Rotation By», a virtual complement of paediatric specialist training]

The Spanish Paediatric Association (AEP) has, among its objectives, to develop activities aimed at the training of its members. Thus, in 2013, it began its most ambitious training project, the virtual platform, «Continuum». Now it presents a new section aimed at Internal Medicine Residents (MIR) in Paediatrics and their tutors: «I Prepare My Rotation By» (PMRP), which has as objectives to reduce the variation in MIR training, to help the tutors in their teaching function, to facilitate collaborative and skill-based learning, reflective training, and the resolving of the particular problems of the professional profile of each paediatric speciality. PMRP is split into three main sections: «From where do we start» (with the sub-sections: self-assessment questionnaire and learning agreement), «Situations to resolve» (where the clinical scenarios that have been selected in the learning agreement are broken down), and «To where have we got» (which includes again the sub-sections at the beginning of the rotation in order to check if the expected objectives have been reached, and the assessment report). It also has other resources: prior knowledge, portfolio, and discussion forum. Five features of the proposed training model should be highlighted: the clinical scenario as a starting point; skill-based learning (based on the Global Paediatric Educational Consortium); the assessment as a training stimulus; the power of collaborative learning, and the participation of the different specialist societies of the AEP in the development of its contents.
