February 2010 Newsletter Article
Our Joint Region IX and X Meeting, the Pediatric CARE (Community, Advocacy, Research and Education) Conference, was held on January 30, 2010 in Monterey, California at the Naval Post Graduate School. Two trainees were awarded travel stipend awards to the national PAS conference in Vancouver to present at our Regional Breakfast meeting: Kirk Mulgrew, PGY1, Children's Hospital of Orange County, with a presentation entitled, "Comparison of parent satisfaction with pediatric obesity care delivered face-to-face and by telemedicine," and Rachel Bensen, PGY-3, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, with a presentation entitled, "Physician Advocacy on Legislative Issues Affecting Children's Health." Congratulations!
We look forward to seeing everyone at our Region Breakfast at the PAS meeting in Vancouver. At this meeting, Alice Kuo will step down as Region IX co-chair and Patricia Barreto will step down as Region X co-chair. We are currently soliciting nominations for co-chairs in both Regions. If you are interested in nominating someone or yourself, please contact Christine Johnson in Region IX and Liz Miller in Region X by March 15, 2010. We will hold an on-line election in April and introduce the new co-chairs at the Region Breakfast in Vancouver.
We welcome any feedback or ideas for APA regional activities, either locally or at the national meeting. Please feel free to contact in Region IX: Christine Johnson or Alice Kuo and in Region X: Patricia Barreto or Elizabeth Miller.
