Children warrant access to care from clinical pharmacists trained in pediatrics. The American College of Clinical Pharmacy Pediatrics Practice and Research Network (ACCP Pediatrics PRN) released an opinion paper in 2005 with recommendations for improving the quality and quantity of pediatric pharmacy education in colleges of pharmacy, residency programs, and fellowships. While progress has been made in increasing the availability of pediatric residencies, there is still much to be done to meet the direct care needs of pediatric patients. The purpose of this Joint Opinion paper is to outline strategies and recommendations for expanding the quality and capacity of pediatric clinical pharmacy practitioners by 1) elevating the minimum expectations for pharmacists entering practice to provide pediatric care; 2) standardizing pediatric pharmacy education; 3) expanding the current number of pediatric clinical pharmacists; and 4) creating an infrastructure for development of pediatric clinical pharmacists and clinical scientists. These recommendations may be used to provide both a conceptual framework and action items for schools of pharmacy, health care systems, and policymakers to work together to increase the quality and quantity of pediatric training, practice, or research initiatives.
儿童需要获得由接受过儿科培训的临床药剂师提供的护理。美国临床药学院儿科学实践与研究网络（ACCP Pediatrics PRN）于2005年发布了一篇意见书，其中包含关于提高药学院、住院医师培训项目和进修项目中儿科药学教育的质量和数量的建议。虽然在增加儿科住院医师培训机会方面已经取得了进展，但要满足儿科患者的直接护理需求仍有许多工作要做。本联合意见书的目的是概述通过以下方式扩大儿科临床药剂师的质量和能力的策略和建议：1）提高对进入临床提供儿科护理的药剂师的最低期望；2）规范儿科药学教育；3）增加目前儿科临床药剂师的数量；4）建立一个儿科临床药剂师和临床科学家发展的基础设施。这些建议可用于为药学院、医疗保健系统和政策制定者提供一个概念框架和行动项目，以便共同努力提高儿科培训、实践或研究计划的质量和数量。
