In the late 1960s Henry Silver1 and his colleagues in Colorado, recognizing a then current shortage of physicians available to provide health care to children, developed educational programs to prepare two new types of child health professionals—the pediatric nurse practitioner and the child health associate. The pediatric nurse practitioner model has been replicated throughout the United States. By mid- 1980 there were in operation 53 graduate and continuing education programs to prepare nurses to assume an expanded role in the provision of health care to children, and an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 nurses have been so prepared (M. K. Willian, personal communication, July 1980).

The recent letter to Pediatric Nurse Associates and members of the American Academy of Pediatrics reporting the division between the AAP and American Nurses Association on certification, is an unfortunate and deplorable happening. Since the onset of the first Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program in 1965, more than 1,000 nurses have graduated from over 45 programs adding a new dimension to care for children. Although touted by many as the answer to manpower problems for child health care, evidence over the past five years indicates that a new dimension has been added to pediatric care.

The increase in population of the United States is occurring at a much more rapid rate than the increase in medical and nursing personnel available to maintain health services at an optimum level. Unless the pattern of furnishing health care, particularly to lower socioeconomic groups in both urban and rural areas, is drastically improved, these groups will suffer from increasingly inadequate health supervision. This paper describes an educational and training program in pediatrics for professional nurses (the “pediatric nurse practitioner” program), which prepares them to assume an expanded role in providing increased health care for children in areas where there are limited facilities for such care.
