About GAPA

The mission of the Georgia Association of Physician Assistants (GAPA) is to promote high quality, cost-effective, accessible health care as part of a physician-directed PA/physician team, to provide for personal and professional development of PAs, and to represent the PA profession in Georgia.

Since 1975, GAPA has represented the PA profession among state and national legislators, helped PAs find jobs in Georgia, promoted public awareness and understanding of PAs among prospect employers and the general public, kept PAs up to date on reimbursement and legislative news, given PAs chances to earn CME credits, and more.

Now, the GAPA offers the general public a place to learn more about hot health topics and serves as a gateway to more resources on health. Furthermore, the association offers physicians, hospitals, and clinics a way to advertise PA job openings, and a place to learn the benefits of hiring a PA. And of course, all PAs in Georgia benefit from GAPA’s reimbursement and legislative news, CME credit-earning opportunities, regional meetings, and legislative representation.
