Which article are you evaluating?
Pediatrics

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because I am currently a biology pre-medicine student. I would eventually like to go to medical school and specialize in pediatrics. This article is important because it emphasizes the importance of pediatric care for people through the age of 21. I liked this article because it included the history of pediatrics, explained the different between pediatric and adult care, and it also talked about the way in which pediatricians are trained.

Evaluate the article
The lead section went right into describing what pediatrics is. It was very clean and precise and did not go overboard in the description of pediatrics. However, the lead section did not mention any of the major sections for the article, it really only gave the definition of pediatrics. The article includes a good balance of older and newer material, the newest material being from 2021 and the oldest being from around 1988. This is a good article because of the way its content is broken down. It begins by defining what pediatrics is. It is then followed by brief section on the history of pediatrics and then goes into the different between pediatric and adult care. Although it was a good article, the history section was a bit difficult to read. The section on the history of pediatrics included a lot of names and places which made it hard to understand what was going on. I understand why the history section was written like this because it includes the history of pediatrics in different places, but it could have been written in a more concise way. Overall, the article was strong and included all the information I was hoping to find. The only real complaint for me would be the history section.
