Like previous editions, PEPP offers students an engaging course that expands their knowledge of pediatric core concepts and promotes critical thinking through case-based learning, hands-on skill stations, live-action video, and small group scenarios. New to the PEPP course, the Precourse Online Module allows students to experience true hybrid learning.
