PEDIATRIC MODEL 9 YEAR

PEDIATRIC MODEL 9 YEAR – Paediatricians play a crucial role in the care of children and adolescents. (Throughout this article, “paediatrician” is used to refer to all paediatricians, regardless of their practice’s focus (generalist or specialty) or setting (hospital, university, or community-based).) There is already a lack of paediatric specialists and subspecialists, despite some claims that as the population ages, fewer paediatricians would be needed. There aren’t enough trainees to replace those leaving practise as the paediatric workforce ages overall. It is anticipated that this deficit would intensify at a time when children and youth’s requirements are, in fact, rising.

Physicians who treat children are a diverse bunch, much like those who treat adults. Their practises are different in terms of type, range, and environment. A paediatrician may take on one or more of the following tasks, depending on the needs of their community:

PEDIATRIC MODEL 9 YEAR  -provide primary and preventive care in the community, work in tertiary care hospitals and clinics, provide consulting care in their offices or in regional and community hospitals, treating patients referred from a variety of sources including family physicians, nurses, and school authorities; provide emergency and critical care to critically ill children and youth;care while conducting research, instructing medical students and residents, working in hospital and university administration, working in public health departments and other government agencies, and working in child protective services, evaluating and treating children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect.

The paediatrics model that follows outlines the ideal position for paediatricians in the present and future health care systems, working cooperatively with other medical specialists. Communities, regions, provinces, and territories can adopt this adaptable approach to fulfil the particular requirements of the children and young under their control. The following are some of the model’s key characteristics:

Regardless of their practice’s setting (hospital, university, or community-based) or focus (generalist or specialised), paediatricians should prioritise providing complete consultation care.
Children and teens with complicated medical requirements should be able to access paediatricians for continuing, all-encompassing care both in the community and when hospitalisation is required.
