AAP NEC 2011

AAP NEC 2011 was a huge success! The attendance by Pediatric Physicians, Pediatric Surgeons, Pediatric Specialty Care and Primary Care Physicians, and Advanced Practice Pediatric Providers topped last year with over 8,000 attendees. Melnic Consulting Group was proud to be a part of 2011 AAP Conference.

Melnic’s Product Theater Presentation, "Increase Practice Productivity and Expand Care: Benefits of Integrating Pediatric Nurse Practitioners into the Practice," proved to be a timely topic of interest for many of the attending Pediatric Physicians. Jill Gilliland, along with Pediatric Physicians, Dr. Lisa Cosgrove and Cindy Juster, MD, provided insight about Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Salaries, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Scope of Practice, PNP Retention Strategies, and the overall benefits of hiring a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner into the practice.

Newly elected AAP President, Robert Block, MD provided further validation of the positive impact of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners in the Practice during a conversation with Melnic President, Jill Gilliland. Dr. Block pointed out the significant importance of forming a closer relationship between AAP and NAPNAP in the near future.
