  • On Saturday morning, you will jump into the Shark Tank. Inspired by the popular TV show, Ohio AAP invites participants into the Shark Tank to present an idea that will improve Pediatric Practice and/or Child Health. Selected submissions will present live on September 28, 2019 at 9:00 am in front of the Annual Meeting audience. All participants will present posters during the event.
