Get involved through one of our Chapter engagement opportunities:
The Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics consists of over 2,300 members consisting of primary care clinicians, including fellows, sub-specialists, residents, medical students, and affiliates. As a member of the PA AAP, you gain access to resources and information to help develop professionally and improve the standard of pediatric care for all of Pennsylvania. Diversity in professional representation makes PA AAP a valuable medical professional organization, allowing members to network with professionals across the industry to connect, learn and grow. Members have the opportunity to meet during our legislative days and open forums. Our QI initiatives for MOC accreditation also offer opportunities to discuss key issues and practices with other pediatric professionals. With a network this large, why seek out resources alone?
