Educational Pediatrics

In our view the establishment of a subspecialty of "educational pediatrics" holds a dangerous possibility for further compartmentalization of the delivery of useful health and education services in schools. One of the historic difficulties has been the lack of a link between primary care givers and health programs within schools. Subspecialization may widen this gap.

Many practicing pediatricians have areas of special interest such as adolescent medicine, growth problems, diabetes or neonatology, without devoting full time to this single area of practice.
