Get Involved With Your SAAAPA Leaders!

Students often forget they have a voice and representation with national PAs and the medical community at large through their elected student leaders. If you have a great idea, community program, or just want to be more involved with the PA profession and have been looking for the right outlet, along with some help passing the information up to a more authoritative body, your SAAAPA leaders are elected to serve you and help in such endeavors. They are always looking for involved and active students and you can find their contact information on the Student Board of Directors page and the Appointed Leaders page!
