Founded in 1968, the American Academy of PAs is the national professional society for PAs. It represents a profession of more than 150,000 PAs across all medical and surgical specialties in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and the uniformed services.
AAPA advocates and educates on behalf of the profession and the patients PAs serve. We work to ensure the professional growth, personal excellence and recognition of PAs. We also enhance their ability to improve the quality, accessibility and cost-effectiveness of patient-centered health care.
AAPA developed a strategic plan that will guide AAPA’s work through 2025. Built upon the foundation of three strategic pillars, this vital and well-researched roadmap will lead AAPA and the PA profession into the future of health care.
