Our new members represent the most distinguished and accomplished leaders in pediatrics whose outstanding work has advanced child and adolescent health and well-being in pursuit of this mission,” said APS President Mary Leonard, MD, MSCE. “I am honored to welcome this exceptional group of individuals to the APS and look forward to their active engagement with many exciting programs within the organization.”  

Some benefits of APS membership include:

  • Recognition and acknowledgement 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 promotion of pediatric research, recognition of achievement, and cultivation of excellence through advocacy, scholarship, education and leadership development.
  • Advocacy for child health: In order to speak with one voice on behalf of child health, APS provides representation in Washington, D.C., through the Pediatric Policy Council which combines the advocacy efforts of the APS, the Society for Pediatric Research, the Association of Medical School Pediatric Department Chairs and the Academic Pediatric Association.
