Society of PAs in Family Medicine

SPAFM is organized for the purpose of ensuring the professional growth and excellence, and recognition of PAs in family medicine and to support their efforts to enable them to improve the quality, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness of patient-centered health care.

Specialty organizations support AAPA’s knowledge base regarding medical specialty practice issues. These 26 organizations strengthen the PA profession through their liaisons with their medical and professional counterparts. These relationships allow specialty organizations to partner with AAPA to address challenges such as reimbursement, clinical practice and regulation. Also, AAPA has created individual issue briefs for several medical specialties.

Specialty organizations offer their members focused CME, professional growth and networking opportunities, advocacy to support the profession and a chance to give back to the profession through volunteering.
