Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:
THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PEDIATRICS (ABP) FOUNDATION UNDERTAKES STRATEGIC INITIATIVES THAT ARE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PEDIATRICS TO ADVANCE THE SCIENCE, EDUCATION, STUDY, AND PRACTICE OF PEDIATRICS. THESE INITIATIVES ARE INTENDED TO SUPPORT RESEARCH ON CONTEMPORARY PEDIATRIC ISSUES, THE DIALOG AMONG HEALTH CARE LEADERS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PHYSICIAN TRAINING AND PEDIATRIC CARE, AND PROGRAMS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE PRACTICE OF PEDIATRICS. TO ACHIEVE ITS MISSION, THE ABP FOUNDATION WILL COLLABORATE WITH OTHER HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS, WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE DURING INFANCY, CHILDHOOD, ADOLESCENCE, AND THE TRANSITION INTO ADULTHOOD.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1:
THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PEDIATRICS (ABP) FOUNDATION SUPPORTS THE MISSION OF THE ABP TO ENSURE EXCELLENCE IN THE EDUCATION OF PEDIATRICIANS AND THE DELIVERY OF PEDIATRIC CARE. THE ABP FOUNDATION ACHIEVES THIS GOAL BY PURSUING RIGOROUS RESEARCH, CONVENING COLLABORATORS IN HEALTH CARE, DEVELOPING AND DISSEMINATING COLLECTIVE EXPERTISE, AND PROMOTING INNOVATION, ULTIMATELY FOSTERING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A:
PEDIATRIC MILESTONES ASSESSMENT COLLABORATION (PMAC) THE VISION AND MISSION OF THE PEDIATRIC MILESTONES ASSESSMENT COLLABORATION (PMAC) IS TO PROVIDE ALL PEDIATRIC RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS WITH FEEDBACK THAT IS SPECIFIC, BEHAVIORALLY-BASED AND REAL TIME. THE PLAN IS TO DEVELOP A COHERENT SYSTEM OF COMPETENCY-BASED ASSESSMENT MILESTONES THAT WILL BE USED IN EVERY TEACHING HOSPITAL, VERIFYING CONTINUED COMPETENCE BEYOND STANDARDIZED TESTING OF MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE. IT WILL DRIVE CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT, AND SET THE STAGE FOR LIFELONG LEARNING, GUIDING BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL GROWTH. PMAC WAS FORMED IN MARCH 2014 BY THE ABP, THE ASSOCIATION OF PEDIATRIC PROGRAM DIRECTORS (APPD) AND THE NATIONAL BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS (NBME). THE GOAL IS TO USE ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICIANS AS A MEANS OF PROVIDING EVIDENCE OF INDIVIDUAL PHYSICIAN COMPETENCE, TRAINING PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS AND, ULTIMATELY, THE PROVISION OF OPTIMAL HEALTHCARE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B:
RESEARCH SUPPORT: THE ABP FOUNDATION EXTENDS THE IMPACT OF THE ABP BY SUPPORTING INNOVATIVE RESEARCH AND STRATEGIC INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE PEDIATRIC PRACTICE AND THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. FOR EXAMPLE, SINCE 2009, THE FOUNDATION HAS SUPPORTED A LONGITUDINAL SURVEY PROJECT LED BY GARY L. FREED, MD, MPH, OF THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH EVALUATION AND RESEARCH UNIT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. THE PROJECT TRACKS THE WORK EXPERIENCES AND CHOICES OF PEDIATRICIANS THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREER, BEGINNING FROM THEIR RESIDENCY YEARS THROUGHOUT MAINTENANCE OF CERTIFICATION. ULTIMATELY, THE SURVEYS WILL ALLOW THE ABP TO BETTER UNDERSTAND TRAINING, CURRENT WORKFORCE, AND WORKFORCE TRENDS. RESEARCH RESULTING FROM THESE DATA WILL HELP TO INFORM POLICY DECISIONS AND PRIORITIES OF THE ABP, FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND OTHER LEADERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE FIELD OF PEDIATRICS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C:
INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH: THE ABP FOUNDATION IS PLAYING A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN PROMOTING QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN IN OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL AS IN THE U.S. IN 2009, THE FOUNDATION SPONSORED A MEETING THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER LEADERS FROM 16 NATIONAL AND REGIONAL PEDIATRIC ORGANIZATIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING THE STANDARDS FOR TRAINING AND ACCREDITATION IN MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES. THIS GROUP BECAME THE GLOBAL PEDIATRIC EDUCATION CONSORTIUM (GPEC), FOCUSING ON IMPROVING CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE GLOBALLY BY WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO DEVELOP AND PROMOTE GLOBAL STANDARDS FOR TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT. THE CONSORTIUM HAS DEVELOPED THE GLOBAL PEDIATRIC CURRICULUM, AN OUTLINE OF SKILLS, PROCEDURES, AND PATIENT CARE KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN BE USED TO CREATE LOCAL TRAINING MATERIALS WORLDWIDE, BASED ON BEST-PRACTICES FROM AROUND THE WORLD. GPEC'S VISION IS TO IMPROVE CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE IN COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE, AND IN PARTICULAR THOSE LESS-RESOURCED COUNTRIES. THE CURRICULUM HAS BEEN TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE.
