DizzyJ Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 What the @!$!. This is crazy! Why would the AAPA create such a document that paints a bad picture of us? The statements to me clearly support reasons to hire an NP over a PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKPAC Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 You have to diagnose a problem before you can treat it. At least we are now making the correct diagnosis. I'm still waiting to see a comprehensive treatment plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyJ Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I agree on the facts. I guess I am curious as to who the audience is for this flyer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statements to me clearly support reasons to hire an NP over a PA. Because the last 20 years of the AAPA sticking their heads in the sand didn't work.... Because we have to identify the problem, study it, and come up with a solution that works.....

The statements to me clearly support reasons to hire an NP over a PA. It doesn't paint a bad picture of us. It spells out some very compelling reasons why we need to be working on full practice authority and reevaluate our relationship with physicians. If we don't wake up and smell the coffee we are going to find ourselves in a very bad position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehorizen Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 What the @!$!. This is crazy! Why would the AAPA create such a document that paints a bad picture of us? The statements to me clearly support reasons to hire an NP over a PA. The AAPA didn't create a document that paints a bad picture. They surveyed PAs, retired PAs and students. They asked many important questions. The presented the data in a compelling manner. The picture is bad. The pixels in this picture are a constellation of opinions sampled by the AAPA. Nothing more. Perhaps some of you naysayers and fence riders will recognize the problems the PA profession faces. I will say it again. Stop reading if my mantra is unpalatable. The PA profession will not be in existence in ten years unless and until reboarding ceases and PAs win 50 state independent practice. One can disagree with my conclusion but the premise for the conclusion is indisputable. The AAPA survey confirms the premise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsman89 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So what is the next step? When, and How is this going to get into the hands of state legislature to make a vote on? Is there a timeline on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a timeline on this? Well, any state chapter write a draft of legislation and present it to the state anytime they want. Before it can become AAPA policy though, we have to present the task force findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted March 1, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 1, 2017 this will be voted on in the HOD in May at AAPA. contact your state and specialty organizations and encourage them to vote yes. I just asked my specialty society what their stance is on this. if they are voting no I will likely not renew my membership and tell them why.
