Section, Council plus Chapter Membership

Do remarkable things for children through involvement with the AAP. Make connections you didn't know were possible and advance your career through a variety of engagement opportunities.

Becoming an engaged AAP member can connect you with experts in the field of pediatrics and its subspecialties and make a real difference to your career. You will feel empowered as an AAP member when your voice is magnified from one to 67,000!

Stay energized about child health issues with opportunities that abound for collaboration with colleagues that share your passion about pediatrics. You will also find value and education by being a part of the hub for pediatric public policy, guidelines, and advocacy.

Sections and Councils

Join sections and/or councils based on your member type and established criteria. (Some additional dues may apply.)

Sections are groups within AAP that advance their respective special interests through policy development, education, and advocacy for children. Members within each section guide AAP policies, clinical reports, and practice standards, and act as AAP representatives to other organizations. Each section presents leadership opportunities through an elected executive committee and many appointed sub-committees.

Councils represent the evolution of committees and sections working in the same field into an integrated structure. Like sections, they generate policy, create educational programming and resources, develop and promote advocacy initiatives, support translation of policy and education into practice, and integrate and evaluate these efforts to maximize impact.

Chapters

Get involved and enhance your leadership skills by participating in state chapters. Shape the development and implementation of child health policy and advocate at the state and local levels through one of our 59 US chapters. Members in each chapter establish legislative priorities and volunteer their efforts to see them through. Chapters partner with other organizations in each state to advance children's health and well-being.
