NEW TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
APSA Committees carry out a number of different critical functions for the association.
The mission of the New Technology Committee is to update, inform, promote dialogue, and critically assess novel techniques and technologies in Pediatric Surgery so that our members can continue to provide the highest standards of care for infants and children in all patient care settings and communities.
