The PAS welcomes the following organizations who are conducting their annual meetings in conjunction with the PAS, are hosting program activities, and/or are co-sponsoring programs with the Pediatric Academic Societies for the 2002 Annual Meeting in Baltimore. We look forward to new scientific presentations and to the synergy created by these alliances (check out the links below to alliance programming). 

• Annual Meetings in Conjunction with the PAS—With activities being planned cooperatively, this year's meeting will be of additional value to those attending the PAS and any of the alliance programs. Increased opportunities for multidisciplinary programming will afford all attendees a unique opportunity for discussion, collaboration, and scientific exchange for the first time. A separate registration fee may be required to attend some of these meetings. Please refer to each alliance listing for details.

• Cosponsored Programming—The 2002 PAS Annual Meeting offers program activities that transcend and enhance the subspecialty areas through collaboration with our colleagues from other pediatric research organizations. 

• Clubs—Several popular clubs will meet in conjunction with the PAS Annual Meeting again this year. These club events focus on particular areas of child health research and are open to all PAS registrants.

Again, we thank each of these groups for working with us to develop the outstanding program and opportunities that you will find waiting for you in Baltimore in May!
