Initiatives
National Academic Pediatric Workforce Database
In 1993, the 16 Chairs of Pediatrics in Canada initiated
an annual survey of pediatric specialists and sub-specialists
who practiced within their Medical Schools and compiled the
first nation-wide population-based academic pediatric workforce
database. Over the last decade, PCC has improved the accuracy
of the survey data by developing standardized physician career
activity profiles and reporting criteria.

Paediatric Academic Leadership Awards
Over the last ten years PCC has promoted the development of
excellence and leadership within specific career paths. We
believe that the health of children and youth is dependent
on leadership in each of the roles of clinician practitioner
(teacher), clinician educator, clinician investigator and
in association with these rules the provision of administrative
leadership. To recognize support and promote these roles among
academic paediatricians, the Chairs are pleased to establish
the National Paediatric Leadership Awards in each of the categories.
