The outcome of the Presidential election has significcant impact on the child health policy agenda. The aim of this session is to provide a forum for policy and physician experts to predict major legislative and policy changes which will occur over the next four years. The session will focus on 5 major areas of concern to pediatricians/researchers. The goal is to prepare academic pediatricians so they can be ideally positioned to promote or impede specific policies which are not evidenced-based to improve child health.
