Child Health Advocacy and Public Policy

What is the CHAPP Pathway?

The CHAPP Pathway consists of a variety of optional activities aimed at building residents’ skill and understanding around public policy and advocacy, and planning for a career that incorporates public policy and advocacy.

Who should consider the CHAPP Pathway?

Rising and current PL 2 & PL 3 residents should consider the CHAPP Pathway if you are interested in gaining skills related to child health advocacy and public policy. Physicians of all specialties and in all practice types can integrate the principles of advocacy and public policy into their careers. The levels of participation are certificate recipient, and certificate with honors recipient. Residents in any track can participate in a pathway! Residents in the LAUnCH Track will complete some rotations that can be counted towards the CHAPP Pathway as a part of their CHT requirements; however, other supplemental educational experiences are available.

How can I participate?

Email Pathway Director, Danielle Dooley, M.D., or the Co-Directors Elorm Avakame, M.D., and Adeolu Aromolaram, M.D., and they’ll guide you from there.
