Lectures
CAPA has done an extraordinary job pulling together wide networks of clinicians and educators from across the state to provide current and in depth views of the careers PAs lead; the horses and the zebras! Serving on a panel with clinical and administrative pioneers in our respective fields sparked fires across our audience. You know you are at a great conference when someone has to escort your group out of the room so that the next presenter can come. Truly a gift to be a part of and watch!
