Hi parents,

I am a pediatric surgeon from Boston who on behalf of the American Academy of Pediatric Section on Surgery is interested in talking to some families about their experiences or anticipated needs as their child transition from pediatric specialists to adult medical/surgical care. This is an important topic now as many children are going through this transition and we feel the time is ripe to elevate this issue into the spotlight.
This will be a quick 8-12 question phone survey as a preliminary survey to understand the problem and help to develop future in depth studies and policy statements.

If you are interested to participate, please PM me.

Regards,

Howard Jen

I would be happy to answer your questions, however, I believe this type of request must be approved by the forum staff.

I will tag them and I'm sure they'll be along soon.

David, Jennifer, Dusty
