Conclusion: The Equity Project.
As a result of the work completed during the meeting and summarized at the last session, 4 implementation groups have been established as the organizational framework for the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)-Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) Equity Project. This project will be the mechanism by which the RCPCH and the AAP will continue the endeavor that was initiated at this meeting. The Equity Project Implementation Groups will focus on Education and Training, Practice and Advocacy, Research and Public Policy, and Children's Rights. The goals and objectives of each group reflect the accomplishments of the conference participants. A call will go out to members of the AAP and the RCPCH to join these groups as the core of the operation of the project. Objectives will be prioritized and joint initiatives developed to focus on these priorities. The project thus will evolve as a broad-based effort to engage as many members of the AAP and the RCPCH as possible in project endeavors.
