Welcome
We’re excited to announce the return of our Advocating for Children Together (ACT) Conference – a collaborative effort between pediatricians across California organized by California Chapter 1, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP–CA1). ​
​
The Advocating for Children Together Conference (ACT) is a one-day CME-eligible conference designed to build a community of pediatric providers who are engaged and equipped to influence child health through advocacy. The morning will consist of short TED-style lectures on timely advocacy topics followed by a panel discussion with leaders from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the California Medical Association. The afternoon will include hands-on workshops for attendees and a micro-mentoring session.
​
Join us in learning from advocacy extraordinaires as we come together to better serve the children and families from the Bay to the borders and beyond!
​
Keynote speakers will discuss topics such as structural racism, health inequity, and educational access during the time of COVID-19.
​
Learn about the importance of civic health and your role in influencing public policies that address health inequities in our community
These sessions will be a time for hands-on skill building in areas of interest
There will a dedicated time to network and meet one of our wonderful mentors in an area of interest
