Books for Health Professionals

Why is This Program Important?

With ever-evolving scientific research, advances in child health are expanding greatly, helping to enhance the way pediatric health professionals diagnose and treat children and improving child health outcomes. There is a pressing need for updated evidence-based and evidence-informed guidance in all aspects of child health. AAP books for health professionals are developed and reviewed by leading experts in pediatric health. This content is highly regarded by health professionals across the globe, and many new books are published each year.

Who Can Benefit?

Many AAP publications are geared toward primary care health professionals who care for children (eg, pediatricians, family medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants), with secondary audiences of public health, mental health, and school health professionals. Some publications are for pediatric medical or surgical specialists. AAP publications are currently available throughout the world and, in some cases, in multiple languages via licensed translations and custom projects. We have a team of international sales agents who work with libraries around the world to provide access to our content at individual institutions and through local or nationally organized groups. We have partnered with organizations around the world to create new products using the content from our books and journals to meet the needs of their markets.
