Abstract
Pediatric practice has changed from the care of acutely, sometimes fatally, ill children to the care of two major subpopulations. Today, the vast majority of youngsters receive services principally for health care maintenance and for the treatment of relatively minor intercurrent illnesses and injuries. However, others have serious ongoing congenital or acquired health conditions that radically alter the type of pediatric care they need. These children require a wide range of services for which many pediatricians have received little, if any, formal training. This paper is intended to serve as a guide for general pediatricians and subspecialists, who face the growing demands for this special care.
