title: Better therapies for children: a worldwide search for needed human resources.
abstract: A point has been reached in the pursuit of optimal prescribing for infants, children and youth where global deficiencies in inter-professional communication are presenting a substantial barrier to progress. In an effort to remedy this situation, the International Alliance for Better Medicines for Children (IABMC) is seeking to create an international registry of engaged essential personnel. An open invitation is extended to all those who wish to partner with others in actively addressing the pressing global health challenge represented by gaps in the evidence base supporting safe and effective drug therapy for children of all ages. Respondents are invited to complete a brief survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H3GKSHP .
