Get Ready for the 2025–2026 APS and SPR Journeys Program!

Building on the incredible success of past APS and SPR Journeys Programs, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of the 2025–2026 APS and SPR Journeys Program — and it’s going to be better than ever!

This year’s Journeys Program features eight dynamic virtual sessions packed with opportunities to inspire and empower early-career investigators in pediatrics. From captivating career journey stories and expert mentoring to personalized research feedback and powerful networking with seasoned Cohort Leaders, this program is designed to help early-career physicians in academic medicine.

Participants will join small, cohort groups in eight 1-hour virtual meetings, led by two accomplished leaders in academic pediatrics, many of whom are APS and SPR members. Department chairs across the U.S. and Canada, along with RAPID leaders, will nominate up to 100 promising early-career pediatricians, with a strong focus on those underrepresented in medicine.

And that’s not all — participants will join in a high-energy Mini-Gordon Conference at the PAS 2026 Meeting, bringing everyone together for collaboration, innovation, and connection.

Check out more details below and get ready for an unforgettable year of growth, mentorship, and opportunity!
