I was president for the 2013 NASPAG ACRM and we were having challenges. Leslie Breech, program director and Joe San Filippo, executive director, Andrea Taylor of Talley and I were working hard to ensure a wellattended, smooth running meeting. Chuck Sapp of Talley told us not to worry. He was going to assign Donna Colavita, meeting planner par excellence, to be on site at the San Diego meeting. He told us Donna was a superstar, and we’d really enjoy working with her.

Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (PAG) is a growing field that addresses the unique reproductive health needs of children, adolescents, and young adults. Despite increasing demand for specialized care, access remains limited due to a shortage of physicians with training and expertise in PAG. Expanding provider availability requires a sustainable pipeline that introduces learners to the field early, provides meaningful educational experiences, and supports ongoing mentorship and career development. Another avenue for expanding provider availability would be to equip interested general obstetrician-gynecologists with the knowledge and skills necessary to care for adolescents in their communities.
The NASPAG Resident Education Committee (REC) consists of 15 members who serve a two-year term, with option to extend for an additional two years. We meet virtually every three months with one in person meeting at the ACRM.

The NASPAG Education Committee assesses educational needs of members and patients and develops educational materials to address these needs. For clinicians, committee members create, and publish, evidence-based Clinical Consensus statements in the Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology. For patients, committee members create and update patient handouts for the NASPAG website that can be widely accessed. Committee members periodically review and update existing NASPAG educational content. The Education Committee welcomes members at all levels and strives for a layered mentorship approach in crafting and editing these documents which cover a range of simple to complex topics in pediatric and adolescent gynecology. All members are expected to attend at least 75% of meetings, which are held once a month, and actively participate in creating educational content.
