marktheshark89 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Myself and several others have worked with aapa to role out a new pre pa membership specifically for those working to gain admissions to PA school. Previously, there hasn’t been much of an incentive to join as a Pre PA, but through lots of collaboration we have made the membership something that can be worthwhile and helpful with lots of resources for applicants, discounts, and opportunities to stay up to date on the profession as a whole. Additionally, once you get into PA school your membership as a Pre PA automatically transfers to a student membership free of charge!

DarcyJ Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 So, we can become members with "PA student" status once accepted, but before enrolling? I wanted to join, but it says for current PA students and I don't start until January. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcyJ Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Oh, and that's great that there's a pre-PA classification now! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 One of the more productive things any professional society can do is welcome students and pre-students. Glad to see this.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marktheshark89 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 75$ and it turns into a student membership once you enter into a pa program without an additional fee. If you join definitely put on your apps. It looks good, but isn’t a large part of admissions decisions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
