PA WEEK 2024: PA Profession Featured on SMBO Podcast!

Happy PA Week!

OAPA is proud to join the PA and PA student community in Ohio and across the country in celebrating PA Week 2024.

This week, OAPA will post daily on our website and social media with PA news and opportunities, plus profiles of Ohio PAs. We will also be conducting an outreach to nonmember PAs in Ohio encouraging them to join OAPA. The stronger the Ohio PA community, the better chance we have at achieving our vision of Ohio as the premier state for PAs.

Ohio PA Profession Featured on Med Board Pulse Podcast! 

Med Board Pulse, a podcast from the State Medical Board of Ohio, guides listeners through the board’s responsibilities and explains the ways that it creates impactful policy, educates stakeholders, and removes bad providers from practice.

In honor of PA Week, Med Board Pulse published a bonus episode featuring OAPA Vice President and Public Relations Chair Michell McDiffett, MSHS, PA-C.

In this interview, Michell discusses the history of the PA profession, PA education, licensure and clinical practice, the team-based approach to care, the versatility of the profession, and how PAs increase access to care where there are primary care shortages.

Access this episode on the SMBO website or on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts.
