The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Meeting is a large international conference that brings together pediatric researchers, clinicians, and educators from around the world to advance scientific discovery and innovation in child and adolescent health. It provides a global forum to share research, exchange ideas, foster collaboration and support professional development across general pediatrics and a wide range of specialties and subspecialties.
