Key Contacts
When clinical or legislative issues arise, the Chapter calls on members with expertise in certain pediatric areas for assistance. These members are our Key Contacts and we’re always seeking to expand our list of experts. We also call on local Pediatric Societies to mobilize and educate pediatricians in certain geographic areas.
