Historical Note

The New York Pediatric Society was founded in 1928 and originally called the New York Pediatric Club. The name was changed in 1938. Its purpose as stated in its constitution is “to promote and stimulate clinical study among physicians who are engaged in the practice of pediatrics”. The Society has held regular meetings since 1928 at which papers by members and guest speakers are presented. Annual dinners are also held regularly. Women were admitted in 1948. Membership includes many prominent pediatricians such as Samuel Karelitz, Carl Smith, Samuel Z. Levine, Saul Krugman, Oscar Schloss, Milton Levine, and Doris Millman.
