In the recent decades, the way outpatient pediatrics has lagged behind as opposed to the rapid development of stationary (specialized) pediatrics has become especially apparent. One of the ways to eliminate such negative trends, apart from salary raises and advancement of new technologies, is the improvement of post graduate pediatric education. The latter may include both immediate (launch of two curricula for a one year internship) and prolonged measures (two year internship, launch of a new major «district pediatrician»). This will enhance the priority of national medicine which was the worldwide pioneer in establishing an efficient and cost effective (compared to specialized pediatrics abroad) large scale pediatric service in the 20th century through a system of children's clinics and education of doctors at the departments of pediatrics.Key words: pediatric service, post graduate pediatric education.
