  1. $224,688 spent. The Montana Academy of Pediatric Physicians (MTAAP) is a professional organization for pediatricians in Montana that works on issues related to children's health through events and resources.MTAAP hosts an annual pediatric continuing education conference titled MTAAP Annual Pediatric Roundup Conference. Through this program MTAAP provides Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) as well as hosts a forum for pediatric health stakeholders such as the Montana Department of Health and Human Services to provide programmatic updates to over 70 pediatric healthcare providers in Montana.

The objective is to provide Knowledge and best practices in the field of Pediatrics which change frequently and require updates. Content is based on ongoing discussions and feedback from the Pediatric professional community in Montana and elsewhere. Changes in policies and recommendations from Pediatric healthcare experts, and updates in existing state-level data require new opportunities to educate clinicians and provide opportunities to learn from state officials, experts and colleagues. We plan to address practice gaps and identified barriers by:1) Utilizing opportunities for group discussion to share best practices for incorporating skills and patient care strategies.2) Sharing best practices for care of patients struggling with obesity.3) Offering time at meeting for early career physicians to meet and learn about opportunities to become more involved in projects, community topics, and professional networking around the state.4) Offering time at meeting for subspecialists to meet and learn about opportunities to network and support each other as well as how to breach geographical constraints of their practice.5) Encourage discussion and feedback with State Officials and National Experts to strengthen dialog. Obtain Feedback from healthcare providers to help State DPHHS identify priority health areas for future work.6) Share past successes in advocacy at the state level and how to become more effective.The Montana Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (MTAAP) promotes immunization confidence, education, and access for children and families across Montana.
