School Based Health Centers (SBHC) are a vital part of the safety net for children and adolescents - our most vulnerable citizens - because they provide primary care medical and behavioral health treatment services for youth right in their schools. Some SBHCs have dental services on site as well.  Young people bring all of their issues to school, and the SBHC staff works with families, the school, and community resources to meet those needs.  Along with a dynamic keynote speaker and quality workshops, join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Connecticut Association of School-Based Health Centers!

The AAP Committee on Pediatric Workforce (COPW) over a year ago launched the State Physician Workforce Survey through AAP chapters. In addition to learning more about workforce issues at the local level, the COPW hoped to identify state and regional trends that can be compared with national trends to get a better understanding of specific issues as well as the pediatrician work-force overall. The COPW has reviewed and assembled the most relevant and robust responses for your chapter. 

 

We hope these results will provide valuable information that can assist in efforts to advocate for the pediatric physician workforce and help ensure that children in your communities have access to pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists, and pediatric surgical specialists.
