Who We Are
Our Story
The field of Med-Peds, which combines both internal medicine and pediatrics, has been growing in popularity and importance since its inception in 1967. However, despite the increasing number of physicians who specialize in this field, there has been no organization or alumni association dedicated to serving the Med-Peds community.
We’ve founded AMPP to provide a platform for Med-Peds physicians to identify, focus, and engage with the entire Med-Peds community. We embrace the natural variety of our specialty, and aim to represent all physicians who have pursued diverse career paths within the field, providing them an opportunity to connect with others who share their interests and experiences.
Our goal is to highlight the Med-Peds specialty and its unique features, as well as demonstrate how we share common interests with internists and pediatricians.
Bringing together physicians from different backgrounds and specialties, AMPP aims to foster collaboration, share best practices, and advocate for the unique needs of our physicians and the patients we serve. Looking forward, we aim to establish a sense of community and shared purpose among the physicians who have chosen to specialize in this important and growing field.
