Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics

Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, often listed as "FAAP", is a post-nominal title used to indicate that qualified pediatricians are members of the American Academy of Pediatrics, an American professional association of pediatricians founded in 1930 by 35 pediatricians to address pediatric health care standards. It has 60,000 members in primary care and sub-specialist areas.
Pediatricians who maintain their FAAP designation have obtained board certification in pediatrics and made an ongoing commitment to lifelong learning and advocacy for children.
