This highly subspecialized division of labor system not only improves the quality of nursing care but also promotes the development of nursing science. Today,developing nursing subspecialization has become the direction and strategy for the development of clinical nursing practice in many countries.展开更多

This concept of the specialty was succinctly articulated by Charles Bluestone in 1995 when he wrote pediatric otolaryngologists treat 'special problems or special children, or both'.1 Increasingly, this care is delivered by multi-disciplinary pediatric health care providers working at highly specialized tertiary care centers for children. This review will briefly cover the historical evolution of the specialty's origins, along with its current state of graduate medical education training and sub-certification efforts.展开更多
