Volunteer

The MIAAP is inspired by the work that our members do to change the world on behalf of children. Our volunteer opportunities offer a way for pediatricians to engage in the work at hand.  If you are interested in any of the opportunities below, please contact administrator@miaap.org for more information.

If you are interested in volunteering on one of the many MIAAP Committees/Taskforces, click here.

MIAAP Event Opportunities

Volunteer to assist MIAAP staff at MIAAP events, including Advocacy Day, the Annual Conference and other in-person events. Opportunities include assisting with registration, speaker coordination, and other tasks.

District CATCH Facilitator Opportunity

The mission of the Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Program is to support pediatricians to collaborate within their communities to advance the health of all children. Our vision is that every child in every community reach optimal health and well-being. We are currently seeking a District CATCH Facilitator to serve on a national AAP committee that oversees all aspects of the CATCH program and provides oversight to the Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for Children Program. To be considered for the position, please complete the online application by June 30, 2020.

DCFs are appointed by their District Chairperson.

To be considered, you MUST be a national AAP member and a chapter member.

Pediatric Council

Interested in facilitating better working relationships between pediatricians and health insurance plans and to improve quality of care for children? Consider being a part of the Pediatric Council. The council brings together pediatricians and medical directors of managed care organizations and commercial insurance companies to collaborate in finding practical ways to promote children’s health. Excellent candidates will have an interest or background in medical billing and business issues within pediatrics. 

Immunization Task Force

A large amount of misinformation is floating around the internet concerning immunizations. The Immunization Task Force provides education about, access to, and scientific facts about immunization across the lifespan from infancy through end-of-life. The immunization task force meets virtually once a month and takes on projects to increase the immunization rates in Michigan. 

Other Opportunities

The MIAAP is in search of a Historian. This job entails updating the MIAAP history from the last two decades. This will require interviews of past leadership and the creation of a written history.
