Throughout the meeting, attendees can participate in more than 350 sessions, 670+ oral abstracts, and 3,300+ posters on groundbreaking topics across more than 70 pediatric specialties, making it a unique event that caters to a wide range of pediatric disciplines.

"This meeting brings together the brightest minds in pediatric research and healthcare to advance innovation and improve the lives of children worldwide," said Daniel Rauch, MD, FAAP, SFHM, PAS program chair. "The latest research that will impact the care of children will be presented at PAS by the authors who are doing the work. The collaboration and knowledge shared at PAS empower us to address today's challenges and shape the future of pediatrics."

The Opening General Session on Friday, April 25, 2025, at 2:30 p.m., will feature keynote speaker Aaron E. Carroll, MD, MS, president and CEO of AcademyHealth. A nationally recognized thought leader, science communicator, pediatrician, and health services researcher, he is a passionate advocate for the creation and use of evidence to improve health and healthcare for all. Dr. Carroll's research has focused on the use of information technology to enhance pediatric care, decision analysis, and key health policy areas, including cost-effectiveness of care and healthcare financing reform. He is also the author of The Bad Food Bible and co-author of three books on medical myths.

During this session, James M. Perrin, MD, FAAP, will be honored with the 2025 FOPO Joseph W. St. Geme, Jr. Leadership Award. This prestigious award recognizes Dr. Perrin's profound impact on child and family health, as well as his influential research shaping pediatric policies and programs. An emeritus professor of pediatrics and academic general pediatrician at Mass General for Children and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Perrin is widely respected for his visionary leadership on and dedication to advancing care for children and youth with special healthcare needs.

Community outreach is a core value of PAS, and the overwhelming response to our sold-out event, Making Waves | The Genki Ala Wai Project, shows it matters to our attendees as well. Through the Genki Ball initiative, we are contributing to the restoration of Honolulu's Ala Wai Canal. Infused with beneficial microorganisms using EM® technology, these mudballs help revitalize the water, aiming to make it safe for fishing and swimming by 2026.

Attendees can access on-demand content from April 29 through Aug. 1, 2025, ensuring extended access to cutting-edge research and educational sessions.

PAS 2025 gratefully acknowledges its sponsors, including Platinum Sponsor Mead Johnson Nutrition, and Gold Sponsor Abbott.
