WHAT's NEW
 

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Welcome to our new AAP Section On Med-Peds Website!  We’ve revised our website to provide a better look and feel, more consistent and easier navigation, and enhanced access to Section information.

Recently, the Section established a number of committees.  This includes (1) the Med-Peds Practice Committee.  This committee focuses on issues relevant to the practice of both internal medicine and pediatrics.  These include career paths, practice administration, group practice and partnering, managed care, and regulatory & legal issues.  (2) The Membership and Advocacy committee is responsible for membership issues and advocacy activities for the Section.  Advocacy and membership are two sides of the same coin.  A large membership enhances advocacy efforts and successful advocacy can enhance membership. To date, most of the section’s advocacy activities have been ad hoc.  (3) The Programming committee plans educational activities and events at our meetings.  This includes preparing and submitting proposals for section programs and planning section events at the AAP National Conference and Exhibition (NCE) and the ACP’s annual Internal Medicine meeting. (4) The Communications and Publications committee is responsible for the publications of the Section.  This includes the Section’s newsletter, website, and brochures. (5) The Student, Resident and Young Physician committee focuses on resources, opportunities and issues related to students, residents and young physicians. 

 

These include our job search guide, a newsletter for medical students and collaboration with their colleagues in the AAP Resident Section, AAP Young Physician Section, ACP Council of Associates (residents and fellows), and ACP Young Physicians Council.  (6) The Academics committee focuses on issues related to academic medicine.  This includes medical education and research. 

Resources found on this website include a repository of the Section’s newsletters, section brochures including: What is a Med-Peds Doctor? and How Can a Med-Peds Physician Work For Your Organization and the Section’s Med-Peds Job Search Frequently Asked Questions.  Lastly, in the links section, you’ll find links to other Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and Med-Peds organizations.  We hope our new website will be a central repository for information about the Section including our new committees.
