2130 PART 6 ■ Specific Considerations
changing creates difficulties in determining how to best proceed.
Finding an appropriate balance between traditional medical
studies and emerging fields will require leadership and vision. One
area that will become increasingly important in the future is how
healthcare will cover the cost of practitioner training. Education is
time consuming and even teaching hospitals see it as marginal to
the core mission of the institution because it does not generate
revenue. Educational reform can only occur with the strong
support of all anesthesiologists who recognize that commitment
to education is commitment to our specialty and our profession.
Today’s medical students, residents, and fellows represent
tomorrow’s clinicians, researchers, educators, and leaders in pediatric
anesthesiology. We must provide them with the resources
needed to create a vibrant, innovative, and intellectually robust
future. By weaving together these varied strands of clinical excellence,
technological innovation, individual creativity, and institutional
support, we will fulfill pediatric anesthesiology’s promise of
“the best of science and the best of caring.”
