Are you interested in the APSA Pediatric Surgery Library, Not a Textbook (NaT)?

For 2024, non US/Canada members and new member applicants will have FREE access to NaT until the end of 2024.

 

What is NaT?

From the beginning, one of the main goals of the Pediatric Surgery NaT has been to take a step beyond textbooks, beyond e-textbooks. The project was nicknamed "APSA (Not a) Textbook," which then was shortened to NaT.

From presentation to procedures to long-term outcomes, this resource keeps the current general surgical care of children at your fingertips.

Designed for both practicing and in-training pediatric surgeons, NaT is updated quarterly so you will know what strategies, techniques and procedures are being used right now. It is written for pediatric surgeons by pediatric surgeons and contains learning objectives, images, videos and links to MOC CME and the medical literature. To take advantage of the MOC CME, you also need to be subscribed to ExPERT.

  • Organized by clinical modules and learning objectives
  • High-resolution images and videos
  • Perform advanced searches of the medical literature
  • Links to relevant PubMed articles            
  • Submit feedback, commentary and interesting cases

About Us

Despite PAPS being one of the largest pediatric surgery associations in the world, we share a strong sense of family with fellow members and guests.  We have a lot of fun at meetings, and are much more relaxed than any other surgical society. We don't even allow neckties at any PAPS meeting....wear one and it will be quickly cut off!

Join PAPS to share ideas and meet great new friends!
