I agree that the lobby we already have should do their job and promote our profession. We always get left behind and end of reacting to things instead of taking an active role in the beginning. Maybe now is the time with healthcare reform to make our profession more visible and even look into the PA to MD bridging. Before long people with have online degrees with 7 of 8 core competencies not being clinical, although the degree will be called a clinical doctorates. This will likely prove to leave us far behind again as the AAPA can't seem to look to the future. People will assume that with a title of "clinical" doctorates, that addition "clinical training" was obtained and make them better suited for independent practice etc.

PA specialty certification? just another way to show our profession is 10-20 years behind the NP profession, and on our way to hanging ourselves by being too specific and too specialized to make lateral movements within healthcare disciplines as the future presents its needs.

Jared ,  PA-CAugust 13, 2009



I agree the AAPA needs to concentrate on Lobbying for our profession to be favorably positioned with changes in delivery of medicine and drop the politics of concious laws.
