WIAAP Advocates for Wisconsin’s Children
Position Statements
WIAAP reaches out to our members to contact legislators and other policy makers (federal, state, local) to show support and offer expertise on issues critical to children. We provide position statements and talking points to help make it as simple as possible to advocate for Wisconsin’s children.
Federal Affairs
WIAAP works with members of the National Chapter of the AAP in Washington D.C. to advance key health priorities through lobbying Congress, building coalitions and raising public awareness.
State Affairs
In alignment with our chapter’s strategic priorities, WIAAP collaborates with our state’s executive, legislative and departmental leaders on policies impacting child and family health and the practice of pediatrics.
Enable pediatricians to continue to be the most effective providers of healthcare to children
Programs & Education
WIAAP stays up-to-date on important topics in pediatrics and provides ways to share best practices and resources with our members.
In collaboration with the Illinois Chapter of the AAP (ICAAP), brought invited pediatricians Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska into a self-directed QI program to improve HPV immunization rates in clinics and communities. Results have just been published! Read about all of our QI programs.
If you missed it the first time around, check the ICAAP website for instructions on taking the course virtually for enduring CME and MOV Part IV.
