The Academic Pediatric Association (APA) is a professional pediatric organization that represents approximately 2000 health care professionals in academic general pediatrics. Membership is open to physicians, nurse practitioners, doctoral trained professionals, students, and other child health experts. For the past 20 years, the APA has been one of the co-sponsors (along with the American Pediatric Association, the Society for Pediatric Research and the American Academy of Pediatrics) of the annual Pediatric Academic Societies meeting, the largest regular pediatric research meeting in the world. The APA also sponsors regional meetings and provides members with numerous forums to collaborate on academic endeavors that benefit children. Four standing committees (Education, Research, Health Care Delivery, Public Policy and Advocacy) direct multiple programs within the APA, and its 38 special interest groups (SIGS) work on critical areas relevant to child health. ==History== The APA was begun in 1960 when pediatric leaders recognized the need to develop pediatric outpatient departments for better service to patients and for the teaching of students and pediatric physicians in training. It was originally named the Association for Ambulatory Pediatric Services. In 1968 the name was modified to the Ambulatory Pediatric Association. In 2007, the name was changed again to the Academic Pediatric Association to reflect the diverse venues and generalist professional work of its membership.
