"Family Practitioners" and Pediatrics

Henry Robert Bloom M.D.1

1 Resident, Family Practice, Department of Family and Community, Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario

I am a second-year resident in family practice who has been reading Pediatrics since medical school. More and more, especially with the new "Pediatrics for the Clinician" series" series, it is a journal of distinct value to those who deal with children in primary care. As such, I have recommended it to many other students, interns and residents, in family practice and in pediatrics.

I think, though, that the references to the "unique position" of pediatricians as primary care practitioners for children should not go without remark.
