With the advent of 1976, a year in which our nation marks its 200th and Hospital Practice its 10th birthday, we introduce a new component into the journal—a section on“Clinical Strategy.”The objective of“Clinical Strategy”will very simply be provision of materials for continuing education in areas of prime importance to practitioners. Initially, the section will encompass two series of articles, one dealing with care of the geriatric patient, the other with care of the pediatric patient. The editorials that follow present the goals and preview the content of these series as they are envisioned and planned by their respective editors: Dr. William Reichel, Chairman of the Department of Family Practice at Franklin Square Hospital in Baltimore, for geriatrics; and Dr. Sydney S. Gellis, Pediatrician-in-Chief, Tufts-New England Medical Center, Boston, for pediatrics.
