The American Academy of Pediatrics is an educational institute that allows "training" to people interested in becoming a Pediatrician. They tend to the medical advice and care of children, in other words, they are doctors attending specifically to the children of our generation.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting screen time for children to no more than 1 hour per day for children aged 2 to 5 years old, and encouraging parents to prioritize healthy activities like physical play and social interaction.
After completing 3-5 years in a hospital setting (residency), you would qualify to take the Pediatric Boards - a 2-day, written exam. If you pass, you would be a 'Fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics.'
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants should sleep on their backs on a firm surface, without any soft bedding or toys in the crib. They should also sleep in the same room as their parents, but not in the same bed. Additionally, it is advised to avoid smoking around the baby and to make sure they are not overheated during sleep.
the only reason they say it is necessary is for sanitary purpose. Other then that there is no "medical" advantage to having a circumcision.
I find WebMD to be a resourceful website. I would also recommend the American Academy of Pediatrics as leaders in up-to-date information and resources.
Technically yes, any doctor can do a circumcision. However, it is a delicate procedure, and a mistake can have catostrophic results, including damage to the penis, bleeding, infection, and pain. Every year in the United States, there are small number of deaths resulting from circumcision, due mostly to infection, and there a small number of major surgical errors including accidential partial amputation of the penis. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Urologists, both recommend that circumcision be performed only be doctors familiar with the procedure. The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that there is no need for routine infant circumcision.
