Most communities call upon their pediatric practitioners to serve as school doctors and team physicians and to advise and participate in other community health programs. Yet, most house staff training programs provide little training or experience relating the pediatrician to his role in the community. Because Project Head Start provides health services to preschool children in a setting that demands careful integration of these services with an educational and social services program, and with other health and social resources of the community, it offers an excellent opportunity for a pediatric house officer to approach his role in the community with the same critical thought and supervision that he applies in approaching the care of a hospitalized child with an unusual syndrome.
