Social
Networking
As
many of you may know, we
recently launched a
social/professional online
networking community called the YPConnection.
The purpose of the site is to
offer a secure way for members
of both the Section on Young
Physicians and the Section on
Medical Students, Residents and
Fellowship Trainees, to interact
with each other as well as
Academy chapter and district
leadership. The YPConnection is
an avenue to not only network,
but have discussions on the
forums, read and write blogs,
form and participate in groups,
and create events.:
Graduated
Dues and Monthly Billing
One
of the most important things
that the Section on Young
Physicians (SOYP) is working on
has not been advertised on our
site: SOYP has been pushing the
AAP to have a graduated dues
schedule and to have monthly
billing.

Healthy
Foster Care America
The
In 2007, the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) created the
Task Force on Foster Care (TFOFC)
with the charge to increase the
awareness, knowledge, and skills
of pediatricians regarding the
needs of children and teens in
foster care. The ultimate
goal is to improve the health
and well-being of children and
teens in foster care.
Recently, the TFOFC launched the
Healthy Foster Care America Web
site to engage communities and
their leaders in supporting
children, teens, and their
families with an effective,
multidisciplinary, integrated,
and comprehensive continuum of
care. The Web site is now live
and can be accessed at www.aap.org/fostercare/.
It was developed as a place
where professionals and partner
organizations can find the
latest tools, resources, facts,
and figures on the health and
well-being of children and teens
in foster care. We ask
that you share our Web site with
others, and link to our Web
site from yours when possible.
