The ad hoc committee continues to work with other AAP Chapters and collaborates with other child health organizations in presenting CME programs throughout the state. The Committee will be continuing to evaluate the use of e-learning and community learning groups to extend CME opportunities to members who are not able to attend live programming. There is a great need for new committee members to keep our programming fresh. All medical students, residents, young and senior physicians, and practicing and academic pediatricians are invited to join our meetings. The CME program continues to incorporate the expertise of MCAAP committees in educating the general membership on clinical issues, pediatric practice administration, and child advocacy.
