Abstract

Pediatric medicine has become increasingly complex and strategies supporting regionalization have gained popularity. Regionalization has placed a new focus on pediatric interfacility transport, allowing a broader group of patients to receive specialized care at tertiary and quaternary medical centers. Pediatric transport medicine was officially recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in 1986, and achieved Section status in 1990. More recently, the AAP Section of Transport Medicine (AAP-SOTM) published a consensus statement focused on the establishment of dedicated medical directors and team members, transport team accreditation, and clinical research to further improve pediatric transport. Since its recognition, it has been transformed from a concept, to an area of active development.
