“The Council of the APS is excited to welcome this large group of child health leaders to our membership. This group represents one of the largest group of members to be admitted to the APS in many years. These new members are outstanding advocates, scholars, educators, and clinicians who are making a tremendous impact on the lives of children throughout North America and the world and we are thrilled to welcome them to the APS,” said Clifford W. Bogue, MD, President of the APS.
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.
