ABSTRACT
Exposure to pediatric and adolescent gynecology (PAG) varies across residency programs in obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, and pediatrics, as well as both adolescent medicine and PAG fellowship programs. Nevertheless, these programs are responsible for training residents and fellows and providing opportunities to fulfill PAG learning objectives. To that end, the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology has taken a leadership role in PAG trainee education by creating and maintaining this Short Curriculum. The curriculum outlines specific learning objectives central to PAG education and lists high-yield, concise resources for learners. This updated curriculum replaces the previous 2021 publication with a new focus toward accessible online content and updated resources.

In 2015, the Resident Education Committee of the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology published the Long Curriculum in Resident Education to provide educators with a comprehensive document to be used in postgraduate medical education. The original curriculum was designed to meet the resident learning objectives for the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Board of Pediatrics, and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and to provide a more intensive, broader learning experience. The curriculum was updated in 2018. This Committee Document is the third updated version (3.0) of the Long Curriculum in Resident Education.
