Libro Blanco de las ACES Pediátricas 2024 150 ❚ 14 3 TRAINING PERIOD - Clinical training A clinical training period of at least 24 months full-time, or the equivalent part-time employment in Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes , preferably uninterrupted, is essential. This period of training may be fully or partly dedicated to Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes. Where it is partly dedicated (e.g. to support on-call general paediatric service delivery or a hybrid post), a minimum of 70% of the time should be devoted to Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes training. When feasible, experience (e.g. 1-2 months or equivalent part-time) in the following should be sought: • adult endocrinology and adolescent gynaecology - the experience should include attending and participating in transition clinics, multi-disciplinary meetings and joint educational sessions • hormone or biochemistry laboratory • clinical genetics and genetics laboratory • paediatric radiology Clinical training should be designed: • to enable the trainee to acquire the required competencies from active participation and experiences in the clinical setting • to provide opportunities for the trainee to participate at increasing levels of responsibility for patient care • with appropriate clinical and educational supervision to promote the trainee's professional development while also ensuring patient safety. As the trainee progresses in their professional development, the intensity of supervision is expected to reduce from full supervision initially, to on-demand and distant supervision, and finally unsupervised practice. The ESPE e-learning web portal can be used for interactive learning, self-assessment and classroom teaching. The portal is a free-of-charge interactive learning environment for up to date topics in pediatric endocrinology and diabetes consisting of chapters and problem solving cases. The clinical training programme will need to be adapted according to local circumstances and when there is overlap in paediatric subspeciality training (e.g. paediatric endocrinology and metabolic diseases).
