title: Meeting the needs of medical students training in paediatrics and child health.
abstract: The way education is delivered is changing, and the type of clinical experience in paediatrics available to medical students is changing. Accordingly, the academic departments of Paediatrics and Child Health in Australia and New Zealand are revising both the content and methods of delivery of training in Paediatrics and Child Health. The educational change paradigm and the nature of the changes in training proposed are summarized.
