| | OAPA continues to build momentum as we pursue our vision “Ohio is the premier state for PAs,” and the work we do in the short term moves us closer to that reality. The OAPA Board of Directors recently approved OAPA's strategic goals for 2025-2026 focusing on advocacy engagement, educational sustainability, membership growth, leadership development, and supporting future PAs. |
| | "I had a bad experience with a DO 40 years ago and was told they weren't full-blown doctors." That comment opened the door for a great conversation about how outdated perceptions can linger long after a profession has evolved, and how the title physician assistant no longer reflects the training, responsibilities, or value that PAs bring to modern healthcare, either. |
| | Are you passionate about advancing the PA profession and eager to share your knowledge? We're looking for dynamic speakers and poster presenters who can inspire and educate. Join us October 23–24 at the Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris. We want to hear from you! |
Top | | "The Healer's Art" is a 4 ½ day workshop to teach faculty innovative approaches to strengthen and preserve the professionalism and resiliency of their medical and healthcare students. OAPA and the Remen Institute for the Study of Health and Illness (RISHI) are partnering to offer discounts for OAPA members seeking to engage in RISHI offerings. |
| | PAs provide quality, cost-effective, and accessible health care, giving patients in Ohio the attention and care they deserve to help them become and stay healthy. But sometimes, the tables are turned, and it is the PA who needs that support! OAPA offers wellness resources for PAs to help manage stress and focus on emotional, physical, social, workplace, and societal well-being. |
