Book excerpt: "It is timely that this issue [is] focusing on a wide array of pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, has identified many of those disorders that may result from or be exacerbated by COVID-19. The authors also describe COVID driven changes in clinical practice, such as dramatically increased use of telemedicine, more intensive sterilization practices before and after GI procedures, and how these changes may impact the health care of children. Given that COVID-19 is likely to remain a global pandemic that is impacting children, it is important that we take this into consideration as we train our current and future pediatricians, including but not limited to those whose professional focus is pediatric gastroenterology. Dr. Pall and the authors who worked with him on this issue have done an excellent job balancing the new COVID necessitated changes in GI practice with other breakthroughs in pediatric GI to bring us this very timely issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America." -- Foreword.
