WHY Join?

PAHPM is a constituency organization within the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA).  However, another crucial organization to PAHPM is the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM).  Collaboration between PAHPM and AAHPM has resulted in a Physician Assistant Special Interest Group (SIG) within the AAHPM.  This allows PAs greater representation within both AAPA and AAPHM!
