Training clinicians in Maternal-Fetal Pharmacology: closing a conceptual gap.
Developmental pharmacology is a science that does not start at birth, but rather preconceptionally.

The novel Summer Institute in Maternal-Fetal Pharmacology is presented, with preliminary indications that it fulfils its mandate.
