Welcome!

November 2022

We’re looking forward to our annual Fall Conference, Pediatrics On the Parkway, November 17-19, 2022, at the Cobb Galleria Centre, Atlanta. The program chair this year is Rebecca Reamy, MD, chief of pediatrics at Piedmont Columbus Children’s Hospital. Our special guest speakers and national faculty include Lois Lee, MD; Boston, Mass., (behavioral health) and Yvonne Maldonado, MD, Palo Alto, Calif. (infectious disease).  They’ll be joined by many other outstanding Georgia faculty on other topics and including the ever-popular Resident Jeopardy game. Our pre-conference seminars this year are on Coding & Practice Management, Current Topics in Pediatric GI, Hospital Medicine, and Behavioral & Mental Health.

Our annual awards luncheon will be held Friday, November 18, where we’ll tip our hats and say thanks to some very special individuals who have performed outstanding service on behalf of Georgia’s children and the Georgia Chapter.  This year’s award recipients are:

• Legislator of the Year:  Senator Michelle Au, MD
• Friend of Children Award:   Jennifer Poulos, PsyD.
• DPH/MCH Award:  Charrelle Coates, MD

Additional two outstanding pediatricians have been selected as Honorary President for FY 2023: Thomas McKee, MD, Savannah and Michael Roberts, MD, Greensboro.  They will succeed Carl Bedingfield, MD, Dublin; and Iris Buchanan, Atlanta.  Congratulations to all!

Finally, it was great to see so many of you at the Georgia Chapter reception at the AAP NCE in Anaheim, Calif. on October 9. Mickey Mouse was a wonderful host!  View photos on our website here. And a special shout-out to the nine Georgia Chapter members who served as faculty at the NCE. Great job!

As always, please let us know at the Georgia AAP office if we can ever assist you.
