Medico e Bambino

Aims & Scope

Medico e Bambino, founded in 1982, is a subscription monthly journal (about 7,000 subscribers) and an important reference point for Italian paediatricians’ continuous medical education.

It is largely focused on outpatient paediatrics (but also on the hospital one) and it follows the principles of EBM.

Over the years it has maintained an independent and critical position towards the practices and influences that are not strictly scientific.

The journal is structured in columns that are real examples of diversified and updated education: Editoriali (Editorials) - comments to articles and stances on the general aspects and phenomena of Paediatrics and society; Pagina Gialla (The Yellow Page) - international news of the month; Lettere (Letters) - an interactive column between the Journal and its Readers; Aggiornamento (Up-date); Problemi correnti (Current Problems); Problemi speciali (Special Problems); Articolo speciale (Special Article); Farmacoriflessioni (On Drugs); Percorsi clinici (Clinical Cases); Osservatorio (Observatory) - on scientific images and social-political news of the paediatric world; Rubrica iconografica (Iconographic column); Casi indimenticabili (Unforgettable cases); Domande e risposte (Questions and answers); Dietro le sbarre (Behind Bars) – on legal Medicine; ABC - updated and upgraded column on the most common paediatric problems; Ricerca; Controversie; Digest - critical reading of some aspects of the international literature; Pagina verde (The Green Page) – with the summaries of the articles published in full online; Pagina bianca (The White Page) – with the most curious headings on paediatrics taken from newspapers; Oltre lo Specchio (Behind the Mirror) – focused on the cultural and social aspects of the physicians’ world and on children’s nature.
