Gradually, this changed. First, there were practitioners, educators, and researchers who focused on the needs of children for emergency medical and trauma care. Journal articles, textbooks, and evidence-based medicine helped push the field forward. Eventually the American Board of Emergency Medicine and the American Board of Pediatrics jointly formed the subspecialty. Children greatly benefited from this progress. But the journey is not over. All of us want children to receive excellent, timely, high-quality emergency care.
