Alabama Chapter-AAP members and other pediatric healthcare providers, join the Chapter for its signature event, the Spring Meeting & Pediatric Update! In 2025, we are delighted to host pediatricians from throughout the state and region once again at The Lodge at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, AL. This will be a fantastic time to reconnect with one another and get top-notch pediatric CME at the same time!
This event is made possible in part by a number of supporters, including an AAP educational grant supported by Abbott Nutrition, a proud supporter of the AAP.
