President's Message, January 2025
Kate Tigue, MD, FAAP
Dear Colleagues,
Greetings, and Happy New Year! I sincerely hope that each of you had some time to unwind over the last few weeks (even if just for a short time) and create some new memories with those you cherish.
January, despite the cold, grey skies and the onslaught of respiratory illnesses in our offices and hospitals that come with it, is an excellent time to plan your professional development/CME experiences for the upcoming year. Since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been no shortage of virtual continuing education opportunities for providers. Not only did these new opportunities fill a void in a most challenging time, but they also expanded our access to quality CME by allowing us to connect to large institutions' Grand Rounds or listen to excellent clinical podcasts on our way to work each day.
Despite the benefits of these new virtual CME opportunities, what I still find most useful are in-persons meeting, which allow us to catch up with friends and colleagues, network, and possibly even have some time away in a family-friendly environment. If this sounds appealing to you, I encourage you to take a look at the 2025 PA AAP Annual CME Conference agenda.
