The Pediatrics Initiative focuses on serving the youngest members of our community. This initiative serves as advocates within the community in order to promote safe and effective medication use in the children through collaboration, advocacy, research, and education. In doing this, young people can have a voice within their communities. Through promoting medication safety awareness for the pediatric population, pharmacists, parents, and children are educated in complex matters that are often overlooked. As pharmacists, it is our duty to give a voice to those who may not be able to speak for themselves.
