For the discerning pediatrician, choosing which sessions to attend at the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference & Exhibition (AAP NCE) can be a daunting task. The editors of Consultant for Pediatricians have prepared a list of “must-see” sessions to help narrow down the selection process. The list covers a variety of important topics. The moderators of each session have given presentations at the AAP NCE in the past and all have published in Consultant for Pediatricians (links to their articles online are provided). We hope you enjoy these speakers as much as we did.
