N2  - The development of pediatric surgery as a specialty has its roots in disaster medicine. In recent years, the medical community and population at large have begun to acknowledge injury prevention as a public health priority. Domestic terrorist attacks and natural catastrophes over the last decade have highlighted the need for disaster preparedness. Recognition of the unique problems that the pediatric-age population can encounter in a natural or man-made disaster situation has exposed a new facet of injury prevention. Recounting the history of pediatric trauma care and identifying current efforts for injury prevention are essential toward achieving an injury-free America.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
