Academic Pediatric Association

An academic pediatric association (APA) is a group of grown-up doctors and scientists who study kids and how to keep them healthy. They work at universities and teach students who want to become doctors or researchers themselves. They also do research to figure out new ways to help kids who are sick or have health problems. They want to make sure that all kids grow up to be strong and healthy adults!
