The Committee on Practice and Ambulatory Medicine publishes the Academy's preventive care guidelines "Recommendations for Preventive Pediatric Health Care". Also known as the periodicity schedule, the guidelines set forth recommendations for the periodicity of the well-child visits and the types of screens and health assessments that should be conducted at each visit.
