	OVERVIEW Now, more than ever, America is a citizen in a global village. This places the medical professional in a position of no longer needing to be aware of just local diseases, but also becoming competent in dealing with imported illnesses. With increasing globalization of trade and easier means of crossing borders via air travel, local epidemics in a small part of the world can swiftly become global catastrophes. In the past century, the great winged vector of human disease has metamorphosed from the mosquito to an airliner, allowing greatly compressed speed of disease transmission throughout long distances. As families elect to take exotic vacations or perhaps visit relatives in developing countries, the challenge arises to keep children safe from infections rarely encountered in the United States. Additionally, with increasing globalization comes a larger immigrant and refugee population, necessitating the acquisition of new skills in delivering culturally competent care. This issue of Pediatric Annals provides six excellent reviews of topics more timely today than ever before. Consideration of the contents of this issue will better prepare the pediatric provider to serve as a resource to families considering travel abroad, as well as to improve diagnostic acumen when delivering care to families returning from travel.

	OVERVIEW Prevention lies at the heart of every pediatric practice. Indeed, it is this very aspect of pediatrics that draws so many aspiring medical students to pursue training in this field. The chance to prevent disease or disability in adulthood by investing in careful screening in childhood, although not necessarily rewarding monetarily, reaps long-lasting rewards in self-fulfillment. Although many screening programs for children have great face validity, most have little convincing evidence to prove their efficacy. Indeed, a large proportion of the well-child care guidelines followed in daily practice lack high-level evidence to support their use, despite the fact that many practitioners feel they are of value. In today’s financially limited medical market, it is imperative to make every encounter value added, and every screening test necessary. The World Health Organization has developed clear guidelines for screening tests that guide today’s screening programs. This issue of Pediatric Annals examines four areas of childhood screening, demonstrating where the evidence to support such screening is lacking and how better evidence may be found. After reviewing these articles, the participant will be better prepared to select and deploy screening tests in their offi ce as well as being a better advocate for improved screening methods in daily practice.
