The special pediatric practice issue of Pediatrics was an appropriate forum for the articles by Dubowitz and Chastain et al and the response by Morrow. In all three commentaries, various aspects of pediatric residency training were discussed, whereas the need for a "supplement" represented the overload of continuing education of the practitioner.
Dubowitz suggested that there is a need for additional pediatric residency training in child maltreatment. Chastain et al questioned pediatricians about perceived increases in adolescent medicine skills acquired since the Task Force on Pediatric Education called for more emphasis on adolescent medicine during residency training.
