Physician Assistants (PAs) are in a unique and interesting period in our profession. With the possibly of universal health care PAs will continue to be in high demand to help provide needed services. Increasing access to healthcare is one of many values a PA brings to a medical practice. SCAPAs Reimbursement and Legislative Committees will continue working extremely hard this year as we obtain reimbursement for surgical first assist services. SCAPA is also working hard to streamline the licensing policies and procedures for the PA’s of our state. I am excited about our upcoming Fall CME Conference which will be held once again at the Wild Dunes Resort in Isle of Palms, SC. The CME Committee along with our Executive Director work extremely hard to put together a wonderful program. I encourage every PA to attend and check out our fall conference. There will be many opportunities available to relax, places to eat and have fun after the classes each day. Enjoy your online visit with SCAPA, and feel free to please contact us and send your comments and suggestions to scapa@sc.rr.com. Thank you. Joseph A. Wehner, Jr., MSPAS, PA-C
