-SINCE 1970-

Welcome to EAPE

Founded by European paediatric educators in 1970, the European Association for Pediatric Education is an independent community dedicated to the advancement of paediatric medical education

Discover

Our HISTORY

The roots of our association lie in the post-war evolution of medical education. Following a comprehensive European study of 68 paediatric centres sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the 1950s, leading paediatricians identified the critical need for coherent educational patterns. This global momentum culminated in a major WHO-sponsored conference in Holland in 1965, ultimately leading to the formal establishment of EAPE in Athens in March 1970.

EDUCATION

The landscape of pediatric care is transforming rapidly. Today’s pediatricians must be equipped not only with foundational clinical skills but also with the ability to navigate a complex, digitalized world. We advocate for experiential learning and modern assessment frameworks. From leveraging new technologies in the classroom to understanding the nuances of digital childhoods, we provide the resources and networks necessary to train the next generation of child health leaders.

Our PURPOSE

EAPE’s Mission & Vision

Our Vision: To be the leading collaborative force in shaping pediatric medical education globally, ensuring that every child receives care from highly competent, adaptable, and forward-thinking pediatricians.

Our Mission: EAPE is dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional medical education and the evolving realities of modern pediatrics. By fostering global partnerships, we aim to integrate contemporary challenges-such as the impact of the digital age, artificial intelligence, and evolving social dynamics on child health—into the core of pediatric training.

A WorD:

Education Shapes the Future of Child Health

The quality of care a child receives is deeply rooted in the education their pediatrician was provided. For over five decades, we have recognized that teaching pediatrics requires more than simply sharing medical knowledge. It demands continuous innovation in training methodologies, robust clinical assessments, and a profound understanding of contemporary challenges—such as the digital environments children navigate today. We remain committed to empowering the educators who shape tomorrow’s global health leaders.
