2020 District III Candidates

Dr. Ludwicki received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Chicago and his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine, followed by a residency at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. Today, he owns a thriving pediatric practice in Milton, Del.

Dr. Ludwicki has been an active member and leader of the AAP Delaware Chapter since 2004, serving two years as vice president and three years as president. During his tenure, the chapter implemented the Developmental Screening Initiative throughout the state, an initiative that culminated in Delaware receiving the AAP Small Chapter Award in 2010. Dr. Ludwicki then was privileged with election to the National Nominating Committee. After AAP service, Dr. Ludwicki took time to consider how he wanted to serve next, thus running for district vice chairperson.

Due to the bylaws change, he is thrilled to run for another three years. Working with one of his favorite attendings from St. Christopher’s, it has been his honor to work with Margaret C. Fisher, M.D., FAAP, a true infectious disease pioneer. He hopes to continue building on making the district stronger, bridging leadership across six states and furthering the tradition of District III.
