        This endeavor was borne of the experiences of a little girl who had a run in with the medical industry.   She recovered.   

        This endeavor is to ensure that the industry recovers as well.

        This curriculum as well as the  accompanying playbook aims to teach methods for performing professional duties, procedures, and for communicating with children in various developmental stages.  We reviews many best practice methods for interviewing children and their parents, performing examinations and procedures, and suggest many techniques to make the medical care provider/child/parent interaction much more effective and enjoyable.

            The authors have been committed to this endeavor of providing patient centered care for the children, having initiated programs and published on a variety of patient-centered service initiatives. 

            This endeavor is in alignment with the current initiatives in the medical industry as outlined by the Institute of Medicine in the Quality Chasm report. The vision is that child-centered care will be a part of the curriculum of every medical, nursing, medical assistant, and technologist school in the future, and that each institution will have in place teams skilled and trained in the special competencies required when treating children.  This will help staff and their institutions become more efficient, effective, and patient centered in the delivery of care to our at times most difficult, and most vulnerable patients.
