About the PAS Meeting
DISCOVER the latest in original research from young and established investigators
ENGAGE with world-renowned experts in the basic and clinical sciences
BELONG to a network of cross-disciplinary colleagues who support academic pediatrics
The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Meeting brings together thousands of pediatricians and other health care providers united by a common mission: improve the health and well-being of children worldwide. This international gathering includes researchers, academics, as well as clinical care providers and community practitioners. Presentations cover issues of interest to generalists as well as topics critical to a wide array of specialty and sub-specialty areas.
We are excited to share with you the first-ever strategic plan for the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Meeting!
This plan, recently adopted by the PAS Meeting Board of Directors, builds upon the historic success of the PAS Meeting and codifies our aspirational vision:
The PAS Meeting will be the premier North American scholarly child health meeting.
