APPD & APA Journal
As part of a partnership between the APPD and the Academic Pediatric Association (APA) www.ambpeds.org, all APPD member programs receive an institutional subscription to the bimonthly publication, Academic Pediatrics.
In each issue, a page has been set aside exclusively for the APPD. This page, called View from the Association of Pediatric Program Directors, represents an effort by the APPD leadership to publish, disseminate, and communicate important APPD initiatives of interest to APPD members, APA members, and the educational community. In addition, abstracts from the APPD Spring Meeting are published in the online section of the journal: http://www.academicpedsjnl.com/ Academic Pediatrics, the official journal of the Academic Pediatric Association, is a peer-reviewed publication whose purpose is to strengthen the research and educational base of academic general pediatrics.
