Club Description
The Pediatrics Club is dedicated to promoting child health and well-being through community outreach, education, and advocacy. We organize fundraising and volunteer events across Erie County and surrounding areas, providing opportunities for members to engage with local pediatric populations. Additionally, we host guest speakers, including pediatricians and specialists, to offer insight into careers in pediatric medicine and current issues in child healthcare. Through these initiatives, we aim to make a meaningful impact while fostering a passion for pediatrics among our members.
