treejay Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm in general internal medicine. I have $600 for professional org money. Already bought membership to AAPA, state org, PAs for tomorrow, and I still have $300. what else is worthwhile? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialMedicine Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 can you put the money towards CME ? Maybe a donation for PA political action comm at AAPA? They have been doing some decent work lately. I guess it would not hurt to just join something if the money goes to waste. Never hurts to increase PA membership in organizations.

Moderator ventana Posted September 8, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2014 only one answer there..... PAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! donate to them or if you felt it you could donate to AAPA - there is A LOT of federal issues that we really need to get ahead of...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted September 8, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2014 The association of family practice PAs does a lot of good work. they cosponsored the collaboration amendment last year at aapa and work closely with PAFT. good folks.

Contrarian Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 When I was in a similar situation, I used the money to join a professional specialty org. Then used that source of funds to pay for CME and training to become proficient in skills specific to THAT specialty. That's how I ended up as a Internal Medicine/Psychiatry/Addiction Medicine/Pain Medicine specialist. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treejay Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 association of family practice PAs a good idea this professional org money is in addition to the $2500 annual CME money I get. I think it can go to journals, memberships, etc. any other good ideas? Not sure if they'll reimburse outright donations with the excess. however, I suppose I can buy several years of membership in one go. any other ideas?
