PAPSEP

Pan African Paediatric Surgery E-Learning Programme (PAPSEP)

PAPSEP is the world's first Pan-African training platform for children's surgery.

Built in collaboration by RCSI Institute of Global Surgery and Kids Operating Room, in partnership with College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA) and West African College of Surgeons (WACS), this e-learning platform brings a programme of high-level education to paediatric surgeons across Africa.

It was developed using participatory curriculum development approach where trainers and trainees of both colleges were engaged throughout the curriculum development process, from initial planning to delivery and evaluation.

The Programme ensures that all trainees, across different training environments, have access to a structured curriculum, context appropriate material and resources for further study. It is designed to meet the needs of trainee surgeons working in hospitals with limited resources and to be both an important educational resource and a multinational paediatric surgical learning community.

PAPSEP consists of 108 modules: 81 self-guided and 27 facilitated discussions. It is delivered over 3 years with all trainees using the same modules at the same time irrespective of their year of training.
