Overview

Mission

To improve the health and wellbeing of children through the development of the chairs of academic pediatric departments and support of their clinical, research, education, and advocacy missions.

What it reported doing in 2024

The association has established the pediatric leadership development program (pldp) following a survey of the amspdc membership which highlighted the important role of the association in helping to develop the next generation of pediatric chairs, ensuring that they will be well poised to lead our profession through the rapidly changing environment of academic medicine and health care in general. The program utilizes the following four components: formal mentorship program, peer-to-peer mentorship program, leadership development project, and attendance at two consecutive amspdc annual meetings.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and liabilities are high compared with assets.
