: Pediatric training in community office-based settings has been demonstrated to be an effective means of providing "real-world" experiences to students and residents. Although it is often challenging with regards to addressing logistic and conceptual issues, such training provides important practical experiences that may prove critical to the future practice of not only primary care pediatrics but also pediatric subspecialty care. It also may be the key to enhancing the interaction between the two.
