Letter to the Editor
R. J. H.
We are pleased that Dr. Bloom finds the contents of Pediatrics helpful as a resident in family practice. This is what we are trying to achieve—a journal that will help those who care for children, whether they be pediatricians, family physicians, or nurse practitioners. My own view about the current conflict between pediatrics and family medicine is that we need both types of physicians. There are advantages ages and disadvantages to each profession, and the strength of our position in Canada and the United States is that we can have both types of physicians providing care to children. We hope that both groups will continue to work for the best interest of children and that Pediatrics can continue to assist them in this work.
