Pediatricians play a critical role in promoting child health through community engagement, yet the skills required to be effective leaders and advocates alongside the community are often not the focus of traditional medical training. The American Academy of Pediatrics Community Pediatrics Training Initiative provides faculty and resident training, curricula, and collaboratives to teach the core skills needed for upstream interventions that can affect the entire population of a community. Core skills include community assessment and competence, composed of data, observational, and experiential components. The work of community action begins to effect system-level change for sustainable, impactful improvements in child health.
儿科医生在通过社区参与促进儿童健康方面发挥着关键作用,但成为社区有效领导者和倡导者所需的技能往往不是传统医学培训的重点。美国儿科学会社区儿科学培训计划提供师资培训和住院医师培训、课程和合作,以教授进行上游干预所需的核心技能,这些干预措施可以影响社区的整个人口。核心技能包括社区评估和能力,由数据、观察和经验组成。社区行动的工作开始对系统层面产生影响,从而为改善儿童健康带来可持续的、有影响力的改进。
