AAP Section on Perinatal Pediatrics Events

Pediatric Academic Societies Annual Meeting
Baltimore, MD
(May 2-5, 2009)

The PAS meetings feature a host of educational opportunities for neonatologists,

William A. Silverman Lecturer 2009: Alan Jobe, MD
Applying Clinical Research to Improve Newborn Care (Audio file)
Sunday, May 3rd at 12:30pm

This year, the William A. Silverman lecture will be given by Alan Jobe, MD, an internationally-recognized expert in pulmonary biology and disorders of the immature lung. Dr. Jobe performed many of the metabolic and physiologic studies that resulted in FDA approval of surfactant for the treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome. His related research interests are in surfactant homeostasis in the adult lung, lung injury and lung development and he is the Principal Investigator for translational research studies designed to develop new strategies to induce fetal maturation and to minimize the risks of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants. Dr. Jobe also led the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network from 1996 to 2006. He has published more than 275 peer-reviewed articles, 150 chapters, editorials and commentaries, and has received numerous awards and honors.

Workshop on Perinatal Practice Strategies 2009: The Light Bulb Moment - Scottsdale, AZ (April 3-5, 2009)

Originally conceived and planned in 1988 by the late Joe Butterfield, this meeting is designed to help neonatologists in all types of practices learn skills necessary to "get the job done," as opposed to more traditional meetings designed to discuss treatment strategies, use of medications, and so on - or how to "do the job".
