APS members are recognized child health leaders of extraordinary achievement who work together to shape the future of academic pediatrics. Current members nominate new members by recognizing individuals who have distinguished themselves as child health leaders, teachers, scholars, policymakers, and clinicians.
“The APS is delighted to welcome this outstanding group of pediatric physician-scientists, pediatric surgery-scientists, and pediatric psychologists in North America,” APS President Michael R. DeBaun, MD, MPH. “Through active engagement with our initiatives to become the premier professional organization for child health in North America, the APS looks forward to drawing on our members' boundless creativity and talent to rigorously address the most pressing issues facing our children and educating the next cadre of pedestrians, pediatric surgeons, and pediatric psychologists.”
