Section on Epidemiology
The Section on Epidemiology (SOEp), founded in 1988, is dedicated to
educating the general pediatrician and pediatric subspecialist on the
basic principles of epidemiology and its relation to pediatrics and
its various disciplines. The section consults to the AAP Board of Directors
and works with various AAP committees, sections and task forces to provide
methodological support and expertise in epidemiology and evidence-based
medicine.
The SOEp's role in consulting to the Board and working with other Academy
bodies to provide methodologic expertise has grown substantially. The
SOEp has liaison relationships with the Pediatric Research in Office
Settings (PROS) Network, the Steering Committee on Quality Improvement
and Management (SCOQIM), and each of the SCOQIM's clinical practice
guideline development subcommittees. Section members also help the Academy
develop evidence-based policy statements and guidelines.
Section membership
is open to all Fellows and Residents of the Academy with an interest
in epidemiology. The section currently has over 500 members and affiliate
members.
The
SOEp Executive Committee holds its organizational meetings and hosts
educational programs at the Academy's annual meetings. Topics addressed
at past educational programs have included clinical practice guideline
development, outcomes research, controversies in maternal-fetal medicine,
emerging problems in community pediatrics, critical appraisal of the
literature, and putting prevention into practice.
The section produces a biannual
newsletter, Epi News, and maintains a database of experts in
epidemiology and evidence-based medicine. The SOEp also has liaisonships
with the Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Research and the AAP Section
on Community Pediatrics Prevention
and Public Health Special Interest Group, and has a new liaison
from the Section of Residents.
