-One of the major activities undertaken by the IAP since its inception has been to organize Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs by holding conferences, symposia, lectures and other meets all over the country.
-IAP head office is in [[Mumbai]] while [[Delhi]] is the seat of its official publication - Indian Pediatrics, an indexed journal. A more recent journal - Practical Pediatrics - - is published from [[Chennai]] and is fast becoming a popular source of scientific information.
