jmj11 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I just rejoined the AAPA. Dave Mittman being elected as DatL closed the deal. Now they have one more chance to prove to me that it is a worthwhile investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolute Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 jmj, I rejoined 2 years ago (employer paid for it). I wasn't going to renew this year. AAPA seems to me to act like big gov. only acting in THEIR best interest all the while selling the notion they know what's in OUR best interest. My state chapter isn't any better. I did vote for dave m. thou. We'll see if he can change anything. I'm contemplating joining PAFT. They seem like the only .org out their that truly acts in the best interests of PA's. SEMPA... maybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I rejoined AAPA for the sole reason to vote for Dave Mittman. Now it is time to take off the gloves and get to work everyone. There was a presentation about PA autonomy given at the AAPA annual meeting. It was reported on a daily update I got this morning. The speaker still did not ask for full autonomy yet but I think the tide is shifting. http://www.clinicaladvisor.com/aapa-2015-annual-meeting/physician-assistant-full-practice-authority-advocacy/article/416515/ If you can't open the link make an account on clinical advisor.

CAAdmission Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 AAPA is starting to wake up a little. How long is Dave's term? He will make a little noise before he is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator ventana Posted May 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 28, 2015 I believe he was the only candidate not endorsed by the nominating committee...and the only one I voted for. I made sure to vote for ONLY dave so that it would not give any votes to anyone else...... I have had a number of conversations on email and a few phone calls with Dave in the past. He is a mover and shaker and truly understands where PA needs to go in order to succeed. We need to stand behind him and let AAPA know that he represents US!! AAPA is changing, and it is through the work of PAFT and some key players like Dave have been instrumental in getting AAPA to wake up and get with the program. I am very hopeful Dave can get them to see the light (so to speak) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paula Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 And the good things coming down the pike will likely be supported by PAFT. Can't wait to hear more!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetNavyPAC Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I've known Dave for years and he truly has the best interests of the profession at heart. He's genuine. He lives and breathes it and is not in it for any self-aggrandizement - only to see the profession get the full measures of respect, autonomy and recognition we deserve.
