Dear Dr. Friedland, Remember that career affirming feeling when you were interviewing for residencies and you were meeting fellow med-peds applicants and residents? You realized that you had made the right career choice, and these were your people. Remember the closeness and camaraderie that you felt with your med-peds colleagues during residency? Don't you wish there was such a community for med-peds graduates? For most alumni of med-peds training programs, a community of med-peds graduates is lacking. Please consider helping us build this community by supporting the Med-Peds section of the AAP. No contribution is too small and you would be contributing to a worthy cause. Please click here to make your donation. Your AAP ID number is 165869. Please consider donating to the Med-Peds section to support our ongoing efforts on your behalf. We have purposefully not charged for membership to the Med-Peds section in order to remove any barriers for medical students and residents to become involved. We encourage attendings and advanced practitioners to consider a tax deductible donation. With as little as $100 or $250 donations from a subset of our membership, the Med-Peds section would be able to build a stronger lobbying effort in this time of change, improve collaboration with the Med-Peds Program Directors Association and the National Med-Peds Residency Association, and most importantly create a strong home for Med-Peds physicians within our communities as well as our national organizations. Thank you for supporting Med-Peds!

Thank you
