| Popis: | The Canadian Association of Pediatric Surgeons was established 50 years ago, with 30 founding members. Since then, the CAPS membership has grown nearly 10-fold and has developed a global presence with representation from 15 countries. CAPS has 8 pediatric surgery training programs which contribute not only to the North American workforce, but also to profoundly underserved low and middle income countries, particularly in Africa. On the occasion of our 50th Anniversary meeting, we celebrate our diversity and inclusivity as we reflect on our past, on the contributions of our Founding Members, the Women of CAPS, and others who have had a transformational impact on the practice of pediatric surgery. We look forward to our future, which while unknown, holds great promise for future generations of pediatric surgeons and the children and families in need of their care. |
