Archives of the AACPDM Village
In 2021, in celebration of the AACPDM 75th Anniversary, the Academy launched the video series Archives of the AACPDM Village: Past Presidents and Trail Blazers. This ongoing project aims to preserve past stories to help shape the future of the Academy by highlighting those who have made a profound impact on it.
This video series features interviews with Past Presidents, each of whom contributed uniquely to building the AACPDM village. Through their stories, we are reminded of the diverse personalities and characteristics that comprise a village and how each one contributes to the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary vision of the Academy. These individuals played an integral role in advocacy, mentorship, cultural expansion, women in leadership, and research excellence.
All of these Past Presidents learned from one another, grew together, and often formed lasting friendships. Their stories frequently intermingle, showing that each cares deeply about this Academy, their fellow members, and the patients and families for whom this Village was built to support.
The Archives of the AACPDM Village video series can be viewed on the AACPDM YouTube channel.
