Congratulations to Smita Bhatia, M.D., MPH, Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, and William J. Britt, M.D, Pediatric Infectious Diseases, on their recent election to the AAP. They will be introduced at the formal AAP dinner in April 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. The Association of American Physicians is a professional organization founded in 1885 by seven physicians, including Dr. William Osler, for “the advancement of scientific and practical medicine.” It is an honorific society and election to the AAP reflects well on UAB, the Department of Pediatrics and of course the individuals. We are extremely proud of Smita and Bill. Congratulations as well to two other UAB physicians, Drs. Ravi Bhatia and Victor Thannickal, both in the Department of Medicine, who were also elected this year.
