PREP Statement

Introduction

The following statement was developed by the PREP Advisory Group as part of an effort to inform the Academy membership about plans currently underway for the future of the PREP program.

While planning is still in the early stages, the Department of Education is enthusiastic about the changes you'll see, including 12 (instead of 10) issues of Pediatrics in Review, a new section in the journal devoted to practice management, and computerized diagnosis and management problems in addition to the Self-Assessment exam. Some of these changes will be phased in over the next two years; the new PREP program will actually be launched in January 1992.
