Note: The AAP Content Library has been pre-loaded with web links pertinent for pediatrics. If you use additional web links, handouts, or resources, you can add them to your Content Library.

Handouts and resources that are created by your Practice (and not on a public website), would need to be saved to an online common drive like Google Drive or DropboxOnce your documents are on an online common drive, obtain a shareable link and proceed with the steps below.

The AAP/Local Content Library is organized into sections defined by the source: BF (Bright Futures), CPG (Clinical Practice Guidelines), PCA (Pediatric Care Advice), and OTH (Other).
