In May, 'The New AAPA'
The American Academy of Physician Assistants is promoting a "grand reveal" of the new AAPA in May at the annual conference in San Diego.
AAPA's 37th Annual PA Conference is not one to miss! The exciting new look, though dramatic, is just a small indicator of the monumental changes AAPA is undergoing to culminate in a grand reveal of "the New AAPA" at annual conference next May.
We have much in store for you that will significantly IMPACT you, your practice and everyday life as a physician assistant which will result in better patience care… Do not miss this conference!
Watch for the Advance Registration brochure due to land in your mailbox at the end of November!
AAPA leaders have been talking about huge changes at the academy all year, but so far there has been little change in the academy's public face.
Hopefully, the New AAPA will be worth the wait. The profession really needs a strong, relevant AAPA.
I understand that the AAPA is restructuring for the long-term and wants to take its time to get things right. From what I've heard, I think the academy is moving in a positive direction. But I don't think it's a good idea to wait so long to reveal the changes.
The old AAPA unfortunately alienated many PAs and drove them away from the academy in the years before the hiring of new executive vice president and CEO Bill Leinweber. This delay in the AAPA's new day has only given those PAs more time to drift even farther away.
I'd really like to see the AAPA begin to reveal its new face gradually over the next seven months. Give PAs something now. By the end of May, the message will be less effective.
