Purpose
The Pennsylvania Society of Physician Assistants (PSPA) was established in 1976. As a young but steadily growing nonprofit organization, the PSPA strives to be representative of all physician assistants within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The goals and objectives of the Society are to enhance quality medical care to the people of Pennsylvania through a process of continuing medical education, both to the membership and to the public; to provide loyal and honest service to the public and to the medical profession; to promote professionalism among its membership; and to promote understanding of the PA profession.
The PSPA is a constituent chapter of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA). The Society sends delegates to the AAPA House of Delegates which meets annually to perform policy making activities under the Academy's bylaws.
The elected Board of Directors of the Society include the president, president-elect, secretary, treasurer, and six Board members. Two of the six Board members are student members.
There are standing committees in the Society that perform its' many functions. Each committee has a Board approved chairperson and is comprised of interested members from the various regions in the state. The Society encourages the membership to become involved by volunteering some time and energy to one of these important committees.
