American Academy Of Pediatrics

Company Overview

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is a professional organization of pediatricians in the United States. It was founded in 1930 by 35 pediatricians who aimed to improve children's health and well-being through research, education, and advocacy. The AAP's mission is to "promote the optimal health and well-being of all children, from infancy through adolescence, and foster the interests and professional growth of its members." Through its publications, policy statements, and educational programs, the AAP provides guidance and resources for pediatricians and families to ensure that children receive the best possible care. The organization also advocates for policies and legislation that promote the health and well-being of children, such as increasing vaccination rates and reducing exposure to environmental toxins.
