The canuc-paeds curriculum is comprised of 26 clinical presentations and their corresponding key conditions. “Key conditions” are the core conditions that the Paediatric Undergraduate and Clerkship Directors of Canada (PUPDOC) felt are essential for graduating medical students to know. The Key Conditions are neither a differential diagnosis nor a scheme (approach to the clinical presentation). They highlight conditions that may be unique to paediatrics, that are essential, or that are common. The clinical presentations are listed to the left, and selecting each one will reveal corresponding key conditions. Please note that key conditions may not be exclusive to a single clinical presentation.

Foundational knowledge is that which is required to have a full understanding of the clinical presentations, and includes but is not limited to anatomy, physiology, embryology, pathophysiology and pharmacology. This knowledge maybe acquired in the preclinical component of medical education, or may be acquired along side clinical encounters. The foundational knowledge is aligned with the clinical presentations, and can be viewed by selecting the clinical presentations to the left. A comprehensive document is also attached below.
