WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL OAPA WEBSITE!
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
The mission of the Oklahoma Academy of Physician Assistants is to secure and strengthen the Physician Assistant profession in Oklahoma through advocacy, promotion and continuing medical education. It is our goal to have all PAs in the state active in the organization. The OAPA board meets every other month and welcomes input from its members. We have several committees to serve the organization and would love for the general membership to participate. These committees are: Legislative and Governmental Affairs, CME, Leadership Affairs and Awards, Membership Affairs, Physician Assistant Relations, and Public Education.
 The past year has been a year of change and growth for the OAPA. A strategic planning committee was organized to promote a positive direction for our future. This year we will be focusing on achieving the goals that were outlined in those meetings. This website serves as the main communication from the OAPA as we are working to conserve costs. It can also be utilized by members for networking and to strengthen the community of PAs in the state of Oklahoma. We are dedicated to the future of our profession and welcome your involvement.
Sincerely,
Allison Garrison, M.H.S., PA-C
OAPA President 2011
