“The APS is delighted to welcome this outstanding group of pediatric physician-scientists, pediatric surgery-scientists, and pediatric psychologists in North America,” APS President Michael R. DeBaun, MD, MPH. “Through active engagement with our initiatives to become the premier professional organization for child health in North America, the APS looks forward to drawing on our members' boundless creativity and talent to rigorously address the most pressing issues facing our children and educating the next cadre of pedestrians, pediatric surgeons, and pediatric psychologists.”
Benefits of APS membership include:
- Recognition and acknowledgment as a leader in pediatrics: APS members include individuals who have distinguished themselves as academic leaders, teachers, and researchers whose contributions to academic pediatrics have garnered national and international recognition.
- A network of child health professionals: Membership in APS is dedicated to the advancement of child health through the promotion of pediatric research, recognition of achievement, and cultivation of excellence through advocacy, scholarship, education, and leadership development.
