# CA Chapter 1 AAP Meeting Review

April 27, 2014

[events](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/tag/events)

I am enjoying my second day of the [CA Chapter 1 AAP meeting](http://www.aapca1.org/storage/april-2014/April%20Web%20version%202-12-14%20Final.pdf) here in Tahoe. As a veteran of too many regional AAP meetings, I find it easy to be dulled by the usual flight/hotel/talk/meal/hotel/flight routine - not that I mind it, of course, but it can be so exhausting.

I've been energized at this event by not only the usual sources (meeting friends and clients, [old](http://www.theverdengroup.com/our-services/patient-centered-solutions-services/) and [new](http://pediatricwellnessgroup.com/)), but got the biggest boost during my social media class. I can't even discuss my topic here, as 1/2 of my class should have taught the class - and later did - instead of me. Little did I know I'd have a small collection of Twitterati (including no less than [@NatashaRajaMD](https://twitter.com/NatashaRajaMD), [@hkroman](https://twitter.com/hkroman), [@Melissa_DrMom](https://twitter.com/Melissa_DrMom)) in the room  - and later we all got to see an excellent presentation from [Wendy Sue Swanson](http://seattlemamadoc.seattlechildrens.org/) today. She came in via Skype and it was impressive even with the technical challenges.

I mention this because I can't think of another pediatric event I've attended or participated in with this level of social media understanding or insight.  It shouldn't be a surprise that it came out of this particular chapter and I think it represents an important part of the future.  I think I need to talk to our UC team and also get these amazing docs on the PPMMC.

My thanks go to [Nelson Branco](http://www.tamalpaispediatrics.com/) for putting the event together.

Next week, I'll be at the [Massachusetts Chapter AAP meeting](http://mcaap.org/wp2013/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/MCAAP-Annual-Meeting-Notice-2014-2.pdf).  Please come say hello!

And don't miss the [latest episode](http://ppmmc.libsyn.com/) of the Pediatric Practice Management Mediacast, where Brandon and I discuss RBCs and the poor marketing of most pediatric practices!
