The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is pleased to announce that through the generosity of the AAP Section on Administration and Practice Management (SOAPM), three $1,000 scholarships will be available for Residents and Fellowship Trainees to attend the AAP 2020 first-ever, virtual National Conference and Exhibition (NCE) this October. There will be up-to a total of three (3) $1,000 scholarships available (Residents and/or Fellowship Trainees).
BACKGROUND:
Historically there has been little or no preparation in residency programs on the business aspects of pediatric practice. To enhance existing efforts in educating young physicians on key practice management issues, since 2013 SOAPM has offered scholarships to Residents and Fellowship Trainees who have an interest in practice management to attend annual AAP National Conference and Exhibitions.
