Annual Meeting Registration


	Welcome! Once you look at the superlative program for 2008 and consider the social opportunities with fellow pediatricians at this one-of-a-kind place, I hope you will join us. The Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of pediatricians in our state and the Executive Committee puts a great deal of energy into assuring that pediatricians and families will enjoy three full days of activities and education. This year we are highlighting “Change” in pediatric practice but be assured that there is something for everyone. <<NCPS Home
