The Academy's 2009 Legislative Conference is scheduled for April 19-21, 2009, in Washington, D.C.  With the Academy's ongoing commitment to assure access to quality health care for all children and adolescents, 2008 promises to be a year filled with challenge, opportunity and growth.  The conference prepares child advocates to participate in the political process by offering training in skills necessary to advance child health through legislation and regulation on both the state and federal levels.

Young physicians nationwide would find the legislative conference a valuable opportunity to further develop their advocacy training as child advocates. The conference is an important venue for members to show their support and leadership among other advocates for children. 

Partial scholarships are available for residents that would like to attend. For more information,
