If you are motivated to be a change agent or are already one.
Child and adolescent health needs are evolving rapidly, much like the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Medical school curricula, often focused on short-burst, hospital-based learning, can leave doctors ill-equipped to handle new diseases independently in practice. The GDCAH incorporates real-world insights from stakeholders, providing contemporary course content that equips learners with the competence and confidence to drive change in the care of young patients.

If you enjoy learning in a community of like-minded colleagues.
This hybrid course features collaborative, action-based learning through Practice-Based Small Group Learning (PBSGL) and in-person learning clinics with private paediatricians and ambulatory care paediatricians. These in-person sessions offer deep-dive learning, while the rest of the course is delivered through self-directed online learning. Here, you’ll meet faculty and fellow learners from diverse backgrounds—all equally passionate about their work. The small class sizes allow for individualised attention to meet unique learning needs.

If you want to be part of a supportive lifelong learning community.
Completing a 40-week course is a significant milestone, but it doesn’t mark the end of your professional learning journey. GDCAH understands that alumni seek ongoing support in their clinical practices. Our community of practice facilitates continuous professional development. We have created a thriving alumni network since the programme’s inception in August 2022, with plans for an alumni colloquium in the near future.

If you enjoy co-creating knowledge and skills with experts.
GDCAH recognises that transformative learning occurs when a learner’s existing KSAs are challenged, reviewed, reframed, and consolidated through scaffolding and role modelling. This course is not about imposing behavioural changes; instead, it aims to enhance your self-determined learning journey. GDCAH faculty actively seeks bidirectional learning—learning from you as well as from them—so that we can co-create new KSAs together.

If you’re committed to learning new ways to become a trainer.
GDCAH understands resource constraints and opportunity costs associated with medical CPD. A key goal of GDCAH is to develop motivated learners into trainers who can share their newfound KSAs with colleagues in their workplaces.
