Etymology
The term "JAMA Pediatrics" is derived from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by the American Medical Association. The term "Pediatrics" is derived from the Greek words 'pais' meaning 'child' and 'iatros' meaning 'doctor or healer'. Thus, Pediatrics refers to the branch of medicine dealing with the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18.
