Challenges in Pediatrics for the 21st Century

University medicine is surrounded by a variety of different social
connections which extend well beyond the internal perspective of
clinics, research and teaching. Through its day-to-day work,
university medicine is part of a tightly knit system of references
between many different disciplines. Nevertheless, there are few
analyses in the literature which undertake an attempt to place
child medicine within its fields of reference to architecture,
economics, history or philosophy. The current reformation of
pediatrics at the LMU invites a closer examination of the
fundamentals of child medicine and a concerted attempt to make
these fruitful for the future of the discipline. | Center for
