Putting the Child First | Dr. Quentin Van Meter | Ruth Institute 4th Annual Summit

Dr. Quentin Van Meter traces the history of the American Academy of Pediatrics and how it went from the leading voice for children, to the national organization avoiding the policies that would help children, and instead putting the interests and desires of adults first. Discover his fascinating story.

Dr. Quentin Van Meter, MD, FCP, a pediatric endocrinologist, is the President of the American College of Pediatricians. He advocates for children through the American Academy of Pediatrics where he served as Chairman of the Uniformed Services West Chapter. He is continually frustrated by the political bent of the National AAP and wants to continue his advocacy role with the College as an organization that works for children and families by strengthening the role of the family without the lens of political correctness. He has spoken around the world on the subject of transgender children. His experience began at Johns Hopkins in the 1970s with Dr. John Money, and he has seen the travesty of continued experimentation on children ever since.
