The North Carolina Pediatric Society (NCPS), formed in 1931, serves as a professional association for pediatricians across North Carolina, representing more than 1,200 practitioners. Based in Raleigh, the organization integrates clinical practice support for infants through age 21, as well as involvement in research, teaching at the state’s academic medical centers, and advocacy work in both private and public sectors to promote child health. Its core role appears to be coordinating professional activities, continuing education, and collaborative efforts among pediatricians to address pediatric health issues within the state. A recent development highlights a collaboration with state health agencies and the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians for a September 2018 vaccination awareness campaign aimed at protecting school-age children from vaccine-preventable diseases.
