Resident's Section

Mission of the Resident's Section

The American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Residents was established in 1989 to provide pediatricians in training an opportunity to participate in the organization. In addition to the national section, each chapter and district of the AAP is encouraged to facilitate local representation.

The mission of the Residents' Section is to:

• foster early involvement and leadership in the Academy,
• provide educational resources to members,
• promote a forum for in-training issues,


• encourage community service and research programs that will benefit the children of Minnesota,


• and facilitate interaction with other pediatricians-in-training - as well as communication with local and national Academy membership.

The Resident's Section of the MNAAP provides a free classified section designed to allow residents seeking practice positions to advertise on this web site. Additionally, practices seeking graduating residents may also advertise on this web site.
