title: Report of colloquium III: challenges for pediatric graduate medical education and how to meet them--a quality improvement approach to innovation in pediatric graduate medical education.
abstract: Participants of the third colloquium of the Residency Review and Redesign in Pediatrics (R(3)P) Project concluded that pediatricians who practice ambulatory, hospital-based, a combination of ambulatory and hospital-based, and subspecialty pediatrics are sufficiently different to justify differences in general pediatric residency training. This conclusion along with others of previous colloquia led to the creation of a list of goals for innovative change in residency education and a draft of a quality improvement process by which they might be achieved.
