You will find paediatric training competences, educational and exam resources and a database of national and international fellowships.

Also, check out the APAGBI’s Facebook page for continuing updates, including exam questions and useful articles.

The content of the trainee section will be updated regularly, so keep an eye on these pages. Please contact us if you have any requests for information you would like to see included.
