| | As we celebrate PA Week, it’s important to recognize the advancement of the profession and OAPA’s vision for shaping the future of healthcare in Ohio. Let's honor the dedication and impact of PAs everywhere. Happy PA Week to you all! |
| | According to AAPA, the official title of the PA profession is “physician associate.” OAPA is working to advance title change here in Ohio, but the effort doesn't come without challenge. Read on to learn more about why title change is important for Ohio PAs. |
| | This year's conference featured new activities, new energy, and a new venue. More than 100 PAs and students plus presenters, exhibitors, and recruiters convened at the Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris for an exciting weekend with strong reviews from attendees! |
Top | | The impacts of domestic violence (DV) are profound, affecting not only the victims but also children, families, and communities. Awareness is the first step in combating DV and many individuals may not recognize the signs of abuse or may feel isolated and unsure about seeking help. By educating ourselves and others about DV, we can help create an environment where victims feel safe to speak out. |
| | The AMA has finally responded to AAPA's letters asking for an end to the AMA's divisive “scope creep” campaign, but fell short of agreeing to participate in dialogue about a more positive path forward. AAPA is now asking for feedback from PAs as a part of its Stop Healthcare Obstruction initiative. Your voice is valuable! |
| | As part of Ohio’s ongoing efforts to recruit more professionals into the mental healthcare field, Governor Mike DeWine has announced a new workforce incentive program for college graduates who commit to working at one of Ohio’s Community Behavioral Health Centers (CBHCs) for at least one year. |
Top | | With funding from a PA Foundation IMPACT Grant, the Lake Erie College PA Program hosted its second annual “Fall into Health” fair to promote health and wellness in Lake County, Ohio. Organized by PA students, the event educates the community about physician assistants and strengthens local connections. Read more in this Grantee Spotlight feature from AAPA. |
