"I highly appreciate the opportunity to attend the API conferences. I am in private practice, and I often miss a treatment team or a face-to-face discussion about my patients. These conferences have replaced this gap, and they have provided good feedback about my professional trajectory."Ioana N. Shirley, Birmingham, AL
"I enjoyed this conference. It was a great balance of empirical data and clinical experience. The speakers were very engaging and responsive to audience questions and opinions."Jennifer Harrington
"I really enjoyed the conference. I walked away with lots of practical and useful information for myself, my patients, and their families."Leslie Abromiot
"It was well-paced and relaxed and yet “so” met the need to deliver cutting edge research with tips to apply research into clinical practice. All the major studies were discussed in a short, focused way. Staff were helpful, and I made some friends!!"Shobha Chottera
"Excellent conference. One of the best I have attended. This is my first conference with API, but I will be attending again."C. Pamela Lowe-Hoyte
"Excellent speakers, enough time for question and answer sessions, perfect amount of time for each lecture."Nushtar Jameel
"The course is very well organized. The speakers are outstanding. I strongly recommend this conference."Sheila Sontag
"The speakers are high caliber-very good presenters. The information is both cutting edge and pragmatic, and the level of the presentations is appropriate to an audience and physician specialists/subspecialists. The option to immediately be able to view the entire presentations online without missing anything is also greatly appreciated, especially if jet lag or tourism options make it hard to attend all of the talks."James Sparing
"Excellent AACAP quality level conference and speakers."Victoria Denlo

"It is a good place to meet colleagues and discuss cases, get feedback, and increase base resources as I go back to my practice."Leah Perez, MD, Dunlap, IL
"The speakers were the top in the field, and yet no questions went unanswered, no statement was not addressed/discussed. Being educated by/with these masters was like jamming with Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis."Herbert Cruz, MD, Fresno, CA
Current information, clinically relevant to the private practitioner. There were many ‘pearls of wisdom’ that I will be able to incorporate in my practice."Renee Mehlinger, MD, Chicago, IL
