Nevada AAP members, and co-pediatric chief residents at The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, Pavan Rakhra, DO and

Gretchen Schaub, DO, invite all area pediatricians to grand rounds on Friday, July 16 at 7:30 am. Nevada AAP Board Member Oriaku Kas-Osoka, MD, MEd, FAAP (aka Dr. Kas) will present on Sex Positivity & Confidentiality.

Attendees are welcome in person as well as over Zoom (details in the Nevada AAP Chapter Calendar). To learn more or to volunteer to give a future grand rounds at UNLV please contact pediatricschief.residents@medicine.unlv.edu.

Available in both English and Spanish, our advocacy partners at Immunize Nevada have created handouts for families on what parents need to know about the COVID vaccine. Providers are welcome to share broadly.

In addition, Immunize Nevada asked that we help spread the word that COVID-19 Vaccines May Now Be Coadministered so that parents don't postpone the COVID vaccine for their kids 12 and older fearing missing back-to-school (and sports) vaccines.

The Nevada AAP is excited to offer scholarships for Chapter members wanting to attend two upcoming conferences:

The Nevada Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics is a small AAP Chapter with less than 200 voting members throughout the whole state. As a small Chapter, we accomplish quite a bit to be proud of and we will celebrate our accomplishments at our virtual Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 23 (SAVE THE DATE).

In contrast, however, with four AAP Chapter representing over 3500 voting members, our friends in California utilize their size to pull together a great annual conference each year -- and they hold it in Las Vegas! This year, the California Chapters are inviting Nevada Chapter members (70% of which live in Clark County) to attend their multi-day conference at Caesars Palace at the same discounted California Chapter member rate. Simply check the box that says you are a Chapter member (right now the form just says California members, but I've been told they are going to update that to also read Nevada Chapter) when you register. Early bird pricing ends September 7.
