The slow emergence of pediatric hematology as a recognized specialty was due to the fact that blood diseases were of relatively little concern to early pediatricians. Infectious and nutritional disorders were far more urgent problems. However, in the early 1940s it became apparent to some that pediatric hematology was acquiring a well-defined body of knowledge which would qualify it as being a discrete discipline of medical science. But in order to win independent status in the academic and political arenas, acquisition of other credentials and additional achievements were needed. These academic-political needs included the organization of training programs, establishment of a certifying examination, publication of a specialty journal, and the founding of a professional society. These achievements were accomplished by the foresight, cooperation, and hard work of many people. Yet there are many unsatisfied needs that remain.
儿科学血液学作为一门公认的专业发展缓慢，原因在于早期儿科医生对血液疾病相对不太关注。传染病和营养失调才是更为紧迫的问题。然而，在20世纪40年代早期，一些人明显意识到儿科血液学正在积累明确的知识体系，这使其有资格成为医学科学的一个独立学科。但为了在学术和政治领域赢得独立地位，还需要获得其他资质和取得更多成就。这些学术政治需求包括组织培训项目、设立认证考试、出版专业期刊以及成立专业协会。这些成就是许多人凭借远见、合作和辛勤工作取得的。然而，仍有许多未满足的需求存在。
