OSPA News and Events

OSPA has been working hard for you! In February we had our Strategic Planning meeting where we discussed our Mission statement and how our committees are working to help to preserve and augment that.

In April, our Spring CME was a resounding success with over 135 providers in attendance at the Oregon Medical Association.

OSPA has a new lobbyist, the Ulum Group.  Tom Holt and Deborah Herron will serve as our representatives from the firm.

Let us know how we can better assist Oregon PAs! Enjoy your summer!
