Description
Our discipline is young. When I began focusing on
pediatric gastroenterology, in the early 1970s,
there were no textbooks available. My training was
based on the teaching of outstanding mentors
(such as Salvatore Auricchio and Armido Rubino,
to whom I will always be indebted), on eager clin-
ical work and on tireless research; and reading of
adult gastrointestinal textbooks that were regarded
as the necessary theoretical fundaments of know-
ledge. Then the Silvermann, Roy and Cozzetto
book (Pediatric Clinical Gastroenterology. St Louis,
MO: Mosby, 1971) came along, somewhat officially
identifying our field as a free-standing sub-
specialty and heralding a new exciting era of
educational tools directed at our discipline.
