WEB SITE COMMITTEE

The Perinatal Section Web site is intended to serve as a valuable resource to Section members and is designed to provide information to four groups: neonatologists, trainees, pediatricians and families. Content of Web site pages is tailored to each group. At the present time, the framework has been completed and we are compiling Web content such as spotlight articles, documents, descriptions, photos, news articles, liaison organizations, and links that will be incorporated into the Web pages for the four user groups.
