The American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants
We are the leading support organization for surgical PAs in all operative settings who seek to better their careers, their professions and the quality of patient care.
AASPA supports the surgical PA profession by addressing the needs of its membership, by marketing the profession, offering quality cost-effective CME, assisting with professional issues and providing a forum for networking and the exchange of ideas.
In addition to serving surgical PA professionals, AASPA represents PA students – both students and PA residents – in a wide variety of academic settings.
The result: increased employment and compensation for PAs, improved patient care and safety, enhanced revenue streams, decreased physician workloads and increased visibility for the surgical PA profession.

Dear Colleague:
As a past president of the AASPA I maintain vigilance in trying to hear what the members of the PA profession are saying or thinking. I have followed the chain of command and requested a small paragraph to be placed on the AASPA website and in the Sutureline journal. President Bob Sammartano has given this the OK. This is by no means an endorsement by the BOD of AASPA but a democratic opportunity for the AAPA to know what individuals are thinking. In the past 12 days we have had 2850 responses. These responses go to Jim Potter, Jim Delaney (president-elect) Dave Mittman, and myself. With the large number of new surgical PAs in our midst coupled with the past decades, we can have a sampling of membership choice.

We invite you "Back To The Future"
