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 Embassy Suites in Tigard Oregon.
Throughout the year, our Governmental Affairs Committee, under the guidance of Chair Scott Beyer PA-C, and OSPA Lobbyist Marshall Coba, has been working hard both last year and this year to facilitate better care for Oregonians and an improved work environment for Oregon PAs.
Let us know how we can better assist Oregon PAs! Have a great Spring.
