Abstract
Access by all children to high-quality medical care must be the goal of all pediatricians. There are many reasons why all of this care cannot in the foreseeable future be given by pediatricians. These include factors of geography, economics, family education, and comfort, and episodic versus continuity medical care, as well as aggregate manpower figures.
Dr. Hoekelman's presentation (Pediatrics 59:315, March 1977) addresses the issue, but his argument is poorly served by the undocumented statement that "there are no data to show that pediatricians do a better job in delivering primary care to children than do family practitioners."
