Abstract. The experiential knowledge of pediatric health practitioners
encompasses vital insights into the clinical efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutic
methods for pediatric pain management. Yet, this knowledge is not readily
disseminated to other practitioners and translated into practice guidelines. We
argue that a peer-to-peer knowledge sharing mechanism can serve as a key change
agent to improve the attitudes, beliefs and methods for pediatric pain management.
