ABSTRACT Clinical pharmacists give valuable administrations to adult patients, however, their advantages for pediatric and neonatal patients are less characterized. Many studies state that medication errors in children are more common than in adults with a greater risk of death.Clinical Pharmacists are accepted as the primary source for providing evidence-based information and advice, to ensure the delivery of correct, safest, and most effective medication to patients. This paper presents a review of the role of clinical pharmacists in the pediatric unit and emphasis the importance of clinical pharmacists for all patients, especially in the pediatric age group.

  • Pediatrics Community About the Residency Recruitment Process May 19, 2021
    APPD/COMSEP/AMSPDC/FuturePedsRes/NextGenPediatricians Letter to Our Pediatrics Community About the Residency Recruitment Process May 19, 2021 The leadership of APPD, COMSEP, AMSPDC, FuturePedsRes, and NextGenPediatricians have been working collaboratively with Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) and Graduate Medical Education (GME) leaders and learners to optimize the recruitment process for applicants and programs. Through this process, we have sought substantial input from applicants, program leaders, chairs, and the greater community including other subspecialties. In addition, we have reviewed and appreciate the recommendations from the Coalition for Physician Accountability. Our primary goal is to optimize the recruitment process for both learners and programs by: (1) Helping learners find programs that match their career goals while providing an atmosphere conducive to their learning styles. (2) Creating a fair and equitable application process for both learners and programs. This past interview season has opened our eyes to ways of improving equity in our processes. In addition, there continues to be uncertainty due to the COVID‐19 pandemic, with some regions still experiencing surges and travel restrictions. Given that many are most focused on the types of interviews we will be doing this coming year, we present that recommendation up front, and then go into the additional recommendations below. Following many conversations and surveys with each of our organizations, we strongly recommend only offering virtual interviews for the 2021‐2022 recruitment cycle for several reasons: (1) Effective assessment: The majority of applicants and programs highlighted that they thought the assessment of applicants was sufficient using virtual interviews in the 2020‐ 2021 cycle. (2) Equity: Virtual interviews are more equitable for applicants and programs, both in terms of cost savings and in terms of any remaining restrictions from the COVID‐19 pandemic.
