As ADVANCE has reported, the NCCPA's decision to go forward now with specialty certification is certain to be embraced by some PAs and decried by others. The debate about how and whether to recognize PAs who practice in specialties has raged for decades, and the NCCPA has sought feedback from PA and physician specialty organization leaders. But individual PAs haven't had abundant community forums in which to make their voices heard directly about a decision that is guaranteed to affect the career of every PA.
We hope to provide such a forum with this blog, and we encourage you to comment on your colleagues' entries with your own ideas and responses. If you feel strongly for or against PA specialty certification and would like to be a guest blogger, please contact Heather Simons at hsimons@advanceweb.com.
