This Standardized Toolbox of Education for Pediatric Surgery (STEPS) is a resource for faculty and senior residents to use for teaching medical students and junior residents. The APSA Education Committee has designed these presentations and we invite you to explore and use these resources. Each module is created to be utilized as a disease based presentation ideally suited for small group interactive learning. The modules are formatted to a standard template that ends with questions to complete the discussion. These modules were not created to be stand alone self-study tools. The topics chosen are those we believe to be the core knowledge required for pediatric surgery for medical students and junior residents in general surgery.
