Partners in Pediatric Education (PIPE) is a national forum comprised of dedicated interdisciplinary pediatric educators who work cooperatively to help improve healthcare education in the field of pediatrics.

To that end, we have partnered with the Health Care Education Association (HCEA) in order to benefit from the entire spectrum of healthcare education in both the adult and pediatric sector. HCEA's mission is to provide a learning community for professionals committed to improving healthcare through education.
