Journal of Adolescent & Pediatric Gynecology - 1988-1996

The first PAG Fellowship in the USA was started at Boston Children’s Hospital by Dr. Donald Peter Goldstein in 1983.  Fellows included Drs. Odette Pinsonneault, Jacques Mailloux, Joan Wenning, Anne Davis, Karen Kozlowski, Lauren Brown, Linda Laras, Marc Laufer, Barbara Gardner and Barbara O’Connell. The Fellowship was discontinued in 1993 and was reestablished in 2018.

In the 2006 Bylaws Revision there were only 4 Committees - Publications, Program, Educational Development, and the Bylaws Committee. This current list of Committees exemplifies one of the many ways in which NASPAG has grown over the last 20 years. 

NASPAG, like many other major medical organizations, has been disheartened to see limitations placed on the provision of sexual health education to our youth. Comprehensive sexuality education has been shown to better prepare young persons to make informed and healthy decision about their sexual health and sexual health behaviors. In support of the provision of unrestricted, evidence based comprehensive sexual health education to our youth, the NASPAG Advocacy Committee has released a position statement.
