Cincinnati Children’s well-represented at PAS
In early May, Cincinnati Children’s was again well-represented at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Annual Meeting, held this year in San Francisco. More than 80 Cincinnati Children’s colleagues presented their work during the four-day meeting, discussing topics from neonatal abstinence syndrome to virtual reality and everything in between.
Twenty-five faculty members also devoted time to represent Cincinnati Children’s in the exhibit booth to further share their expertise and build relationships with other conference attendees. As is the tradition at PAS, the Alumni Association hosted a reception for alumni and friends of Cincinnati Children’s on Saturday evening. More than 140 people gathered for the occasion, which was hosted by Sue Poynter, MD, MEd, director, Pediatric Residency Training Program, along with Tom Dewitt, MD, director, General and Community Pediatrics, and his wife, Flo.
Peggy Hostetter, MD, chair of Pediatrics, and director, Cincinnati Children’s Research Foundation, took the gathering as an opportunity to recognize the many awards presented to Cincinnati Children’s colleagues during the meeting and to express her appreciation for their dedication to pediatric medicine. The 2018 PAS Annual Meeting will be held in Toronto next May.
