The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 67,00 pediatricians who are committed to the optimal physical, social, mental health and overall well-being for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults.

​

Included in their website are professional resources and education for pediatricians and others working in the health field, specifically with children. Additionally, they have included information about their advocacy and policy as an organization.
