Exhibits and Sponsorships
California PA schools graduate approximately 1,400 new PAs and accept another 1,600 students yearly. Among practicing PAs, about 7% change specialties in any given year. These laterally mobile PAs, student cohorts, and early career PAs are eager to jumpstart in their profession and see what practice setting or other options are most appropriate for their skills and interests.
The CAPACareers Expo allows practices, advanced education and training programs, and healthcare business providers to reach fresh and experienced clinical talent.
