Advanced Pediatrics is proud to continue the tradition of participating in clinical research. While patient care remains our foremost goal, we also recognize the importance in advancing pediatric medicine. At nearly half of medical visits, children are given a medicine and 70% of those medicines have only been tested in adults. The simple truth is...children are not little adults. But without research in children themselves, we have no choice but to treat them that way.
While participation in research is ALWAYS optional, we hope you might consider participating. Only through research can we expand the number of medications available to children and to develop new treatments and vaccines. Its time we treat children as children rather than little adults.
