Med-Peds Faculty & Administrators

The Medicine Pediatrics Program Directors Association (MPPDA) is the organization of accredited internal medicine-pediatric residency programs in the United States.

Mission Statement

The Association was formed to advance medical education in Med-Peds Residency Programs, which were originally approved by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). MPPDA will work in conjunction with the Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD), Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine (APDIM), Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), Residency Review Committees for Internal Medicine and Pediatrics (RRC-IM and RRC-Peds, respectively), ABIM, and ABP, and other pertinent organizations to improve Graduate Medical Education for Med-Peds residents and to support the mission of combined residency training.

Vision

The Medicine-Pediatrics Program Directors Association (MPPDA) will assist program directors leading combined training programs in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics (Med-Peds) to develop educational programs and assessment strategies to prepare trainees to care for patients across the lifespan continuum independently.
