Among the many applications received for the award, the BUSM chapter \u201cstood out as one that not only proves what a chapter can do, but also sets the standard high for what is achievable as an interest group,\u201d said one reviewer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo years ago I challenged the Interest Group to think creatively about their work, to develop a plan for impacting child health and to organize the group to discuss advocacy, research and ways to improve child health,\u201d said Bob Vinci, MD, the Joel and Barbara Alpert Professor and Chair of Pediatrics. \u201cThey did more than take on that challenge. They have organized themselves into a dynamic partnership with our Pediatric Department and they are impacting the work we do at BUSM in a very positive and collaborative way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group will be recognized during medical student programming at the AAP National Conference in Washington, DC, October 24-27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BUSM receives the inaugural 2015 Pediatric Interest Group of the Year Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":903,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[89,91,156],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20129"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/903"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20129"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20394,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20129\/revisions\/20394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
