About the Section on Advances in Therapeutics and Technology

To advance pediatric health and well-being through collaboration, communication and education on the discovery and development of therapeutics and technology and their successful translation into practice. ​

Our Goals:

• Communication
  To improve communication and relationships with AAP members within industry, academia and government agencies to create opportunity for dialogue with the organizations that employ them​.

• Education
  To educate AAP membership on the discovery, development, and implementation process for therapeutics and technology.

• Networking
  To create a vibrant member community and network that will add value to AAP members.
   
  To serve as a resource and integrate expertise with other Sections, Committees and membership-at-large.

• Integration
  To explore the research and development process and make recommendations that will improve quality, safety, understanding and efficiency.

  SOATT welcomes all AAP members who have an interest in the mission and goals of our Section.

  While some members work in the pharmaceutical or device industry, the Food and Drug Administration, or the National Institutes of Health, others are pediatricians who share a common interest in pediatric medical advances. We feel that diversity in Section membership will bring about valuable discussions and partnerships with the intent of improving the health of children.
