Region 5
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Region V breakfast at PAS in Washington DC this year. We had a great discussion about the needs of the region members. We are always open to hearing from our members about topics that they would like to hear more about, either through the webinars or at the Region V meeting in the early spring. Thank you as well to all of the faculty who agreed to provide feedback for our trainees who were presenting posters at PAS. We had 59 trainee posters at PAS this year. Great job to all of our trainees!
We would also like to take a moment to say good-bye and thank you to Allison Brindle who has served as the Region V co-chair for the last couple of years. She will be moving to Region I later this summer. We thank her for her dedication to the Region and to the APA, and know that Region I will greatly benefit from having her join their ranks.
We would also like to welcome Chris Peltier as the new Region V co-chair. Chris is the Community Pediatrics Section Director in the Division of General and Community Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and is an adjunct assistant professor of Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He practices general pediatrics at Pediatric Associates of Mount Carmel, located in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio. He has taught both residents and medical students for almost fifteen years in his private pediatric practice. Chris's main areas of interest are the teaching of medical students and residents in community practices and how to train community faculty to be better educators. He currently serves as the Co-Chair of the APA's Teaching in Community Settings SIG and is a member of the APA Teaching Award Task Force.
