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
